Singapore — Local blogger Lee Kin Mun, better known as mrbrown, is known for his satirical take on sociopolitical issues that he publicises on his website.

The start of Phase 2 (June 19) of the relaxation of circuit breaker measures allows people to meet in a group of maximum five.

He responded in a tweet to a report on the implementation of this “Rule of 5”. “Coincidentally, five is also the maximum size of a GRC team,” he pointed out. The comment garnered 137 retweets.
