Based on other airline forums:
Enforcement of the mask mandate on public transportation is not required by the law, so LH will continue to inform that a mask needs to be worn like on every public transport, but the crew will no longer 'police'/enforce the law.

This week the PM of Singapore said in his annual speech that Singapore will end it's public mask mandate except in health care settings or public transport - but public transport does not include aviation, therefor Singapore Airline will end its mask mandate on Aug 29

As per Decree-Law 57-A/2022, effective as of August 27, the use of a face mask is no longer mandatory on board all TAP flights.

Nevertheless, passengers must confirm about specific rules that may exist at points of origin and destination, such as the mandatory use of masks at airports.

Unbelievable that it’s still around on some airlines. I flew Avianca in December and it felt like going back in time.
