As Singapore's borders remain mostly closed during the pandemic, many people have turned to having staycations and visiting local attractions.

Seeking rest and relaxation, dozens of visitors flocked to Sembawang Hot Spring Park last weekend, but several of them were seen flouting the rules even with staff patrolling the area.

Although the cascading pool is only meant for foot baths, several people were spotted sitting or kneeling in the shallow pool.

Despite being advised by staff not to do so, a woman continued to kneel and submerge the lower half of her legs in the water for about 10 minutes and even argued with them, Shin Min Daily News reported.

The 64-year-old, who frequents the hot spring park, told the Chinese daily that she has been soaking her knees in the hot spring water as it helps ease her joint pain. She insisted that she was not sitting in the pool.

Meanwhile, a first-time visitor brought along a portable pool, filling it with hot spring water for a private bath in her swimsuit. But she had to pack up her belongings and leave after she was told she wasn't allowed to do so.

Even though signs calling for visitors to adhere to safe distancing measures were placed near the cascading pool, a number of them paid no heed to the measures or the markings on park facilities reminding them to keep a one-metre distance apart.

Others gathered in groups of more than eight in the seating areas and a group of middle-aged men was seen chatting in a corner without wearing their face masks properly.

Under Phase 3 regulations, groups of up to eight people are allowed in social gatherings, but they must observe safe distancing as well as wear face masks in public spaces.

Since its opening last January, the revamped park has come under the spotlight for displays of bad behaviour from inconsiderate visitors.

We have yet another alternative to the problem. We pray for our Lord to reveal what is the best solution to our dilemma. We are learning to listen to what He is telling us and then responding to His instructions. We are not prophets, and therefore we need to rely on true prophets to inform us the messages from our Lord.

Maybe one day God will enable scientists to create high tech pre-screening devices inspired by the detection methods of wild animals.
"Lord, please forgive us for at times we may find it difficult to discern which way You wants us to take. But we know that when it is very obvious, responding to Your instructions is safer and more fruitful."

There are still certain area in the world where there's no need to come under the spotlight for displays of bad behaviour from inconsiderate visitors. It is a matter of suitable location, time, and away from the hassle, irritating inconvenience of the already crowded place.

Although humans are part of nature, human activity is often understood as a separate category from other natural phenomena. The essence of humankind is a concept that denotes the fundamental dispositions and characteristics—including ways of thinking, feeling, and acting—that humans are said to have naturally. Nature's message to humanity is simple: Nature doesn't need people. Because people are taking more from nature than it has to give. So complex and complicated . . . .
