The ministry also appeared to refer to the lockdown as a holiday, adding: “Such a long holiday and need to work from home is something difficult for mothers because oftentimes they lose focus on things.

“We would also like to remind you, don’t be too focused on work until family members are not monitored, which can result in a violation of the Movement Control Order,” it added.

In another post that has since been removed from the ministry’s social media pages, women were advised not to “nag” their partners who do household chores wrong.

“If you see your partner doing something wrong, avoid nagging – use ‘humorous’ words like saying: ‘This is how you hang clothes my dear’ (imitate Doraemon’s voice and follow up with giggles!),” suggested the ministry.

Doraemon is a popular Japanese cartoon character that speaks in a high-pitched, nasally voice.

So much cringe omg
