As dining in is not allowed during Phase 2 (Heightened Alert), you'll find more Singaporeans going out for picnics.
Some have resorted to having picnics at parks and beaches, including the then-lesser-known Breakwater @ Marina East, also known locally as Pulau Ujong.
For the uninitiated, it is located near the Marina Bay area, and features a stretch of breakwater (a hard shore-parallel structure).

Cordoned off
However it seems that the area has already been cordoned off, at least as recently as June 11, according to a Facebook post by one Adeline Goh in the SG PCN Cyclist Facebook group.

Though, some did say that the rubbish may have been brought over by the tide, and not by the visitors.
