SPHはSingapore Press Holdingsの略で、Kiss92の他に4つのラジオ局を運営する会社のようです。それぞれのラジオ局は対象とするリスナーを設定しています。Kiss92は、" The nation’s first radio station targeting women aged between 30 – 50, offering informative content for the modern, driven and savvy women."(30代〜50代のモダンで意欲的且つ情報通の女性)が対象のようです。私は対象外?
選曲が私の好みに合っていて、複数のDJによる適度な会話時間が良いと思います。今日の主な話題はCOVID-19感染予防を目的に本日発令された"Social Distancing"と外国からの帰国者を対象に行われる14日間のSHN (Stay Home Notice) 明るい北朝鮮とも揶揄されるシンガポールらしく、公共交通機関を除く、レストラン、喫茶店、ショッピングセンターなど公共の場では1メートル以上の安全な距離(Safe Distancing Rule) を確保することが義務付けられたようです。この極めて「反社会的」な濃厚接触禁止令に違反すると、禁固刑または最高S$10,000の罰金、またはその両方の罰則が課せられるそうです。(シンガポールでは日本と同じように、「本音と建前」という暗黙で了解すべき風土があるようです。)

Based on this latest situation, the Multi-Ministry Taskforce will put in place additional border restriction measures. From 16 March 2020, 2359 hours, all travellers (including Singapore Residents, Long Term Pass holders, and short-term visitors) entering Singapore with recent travel history to ASEAN countries, Japan, Switzerland, or the United Kingdom within the last 14 days will be issued with a 14-day Stay-Home Notice (SHN). In addition, they will have to provide proof of the place where they will serve the 14-day SHN, for example a hotel booking covering the entire period, or a place of residence they or their family members own. They may also be swabbed for testing for COVID-19, even if asymptomatic. This is because of the risk of community transmission in these countries and evidence of cases that have been imported from these countries into Singapore.
