Killer litter from high rise buildings are a genuine threat. There are still many inconsiderate people who leave heavy items like flower pots, metal rods and other dangerous items on window ledges and rooftops which may be dislodged by strong winds and heavy rain.

All metal rods and poles are not allowed to be fixed outside the walls. HDB should consficate the unit back immediately.

I lived in a HDB unit more than 20 years ago when residents thought nothing of hanging dripping mops, SAF helmets and other heavy objects on those bamboo poles. Do they still do that these days?
