SINGAPORE: Singaporeans on social media aren’t happy about a recent proposal to require diners to wipe down tables after meals at food outlets.

Now, researchers suggest equipping diners with tissue paper or tablecloths to wipe down tables after eating, fostering a culture of proactive cleanliness.
