Service Status
Doraemon Fan Club, Singapore
Since Doraemon Fan Club, Singapore heavily scaled down the club’s services, the club has been updating fans and the public on the latest service status. In line with the club’s efforts to gradually scale up services and to allow fans to track on the latest service status which may be affected by various circumstances and situations (e.g. COVID-19 pandemic), the club has deemed it is inappropriate to continue using the “Cease of Operations” notice to keep the fans and public updated on the latest service changes. Hence, this microsite is created, targeting on reporting the latest service updates and showing the latest service status with a more clear and distinct page name “Service Status”.
