Tag Archives: High Rise Littering

Why are Fernvale residents like me not being fully represented? Why are our concerns not taken seriously? Even during this election time also don't bother to come visit us. Is the PAP so confident that they will win Ang Mo Kio GRC until they can completely forget or neglect us?

After the Cleaner Appreciation event yesterday afternoon (see post below), I took a walk around the common space at blks 128, 129 and 130 Bukit Merah View and checked out the environment. Was dismayed to see this palm tree adorned with tea bags, obviously thrown from a higher floor and which had snagged on the leaves and branches. It was like a Christmas tree except that instead of pretty ornaments, this poor tree was festooned with used Dilmah tea bags!

The National Environmental Agency (NEA) has fined a man $19,800 and sentenced him to five hours of Corrective Work Order for committing 34 acts of high-rise littering. This is the highest fine meted out in the history of Singapore. The 38-year-old repeat offender insisted on throwing cigarette butts out of his home at Block 224C Compassvale Walk between Mar 13 and 16, 2014.
