we really need to be back the "NO LITTERING" CAMPAIGN...
have mentioned it to certain top brass but fell on deaf ears...

if top brass think its beneath a 1st world ccountry to have "NO LITTERING" CAMPAIGN...
they need to think again coz we are a FAKE 1st world country or we are only 1st world in GDP
that aside, we are still 3rd or 4th world

The reason Spore is so clean is due to the effort of hardworking cleaners.

commom sight at Somme Road park on sunday evenings
Nparks doesnt want to "enforce"
when people send feedback/photo, their solution is to activate the cleaners.... and next week the whole scenario repeats itself .
in other words, in this case, letting the culprits off easy

RE: Forum: Surprised to see so much litter during recent visit in Singapore - wendychan - 27-02-2023

Forum: Multi-pronged approach to keep Singapore litter-free

 
We thank Ms Marie Antoinette McBride for her letter, “Surprised to see so much litter during recent visit” (Feb 25).

The National Environment Agency (NEA) adopts a multi-pronged approach to uphold high standards of public cleanliness. Our enforcement and cleaning efforts are supported by education, outreach and ground-up action.

We allocate significant resources to strict enforcement against a range of public health offences, including littering and smoking. Enforcement officers are regularly deployed to littering hot spots across the island.

Under the Environmental Public Health Act, anyone committing a littering offence is liable to a court fine of up to $2,000 for a first conviction, $4,000 for a second conviction and $10,000 for subsequent convictions.

The court may also impose a Corrective Work Order (CWO), requiring repeat offenders to clean public areas for up to 12 hours. CWO sessions are usually organised once every two months at different locations.

NEA works with community leaders, residents, town councils and schools to foster collective action and social responsibility to keep public spaces clean. Posters and banners are also displayed at littering hot spots.

Many stakeholders conduct ground-up activities such as litter-picking brisk walks, beach and park clean-up exercises, and cleaner appreciation days. The Public Hygiene Council has partnered town councils to hold quarterly SG Clean Days, when cleaners cease work for the day and residents are reminded to keep their surroundings clean.

We agree that everyone has a role in upholding high standards of cleanliness and public health in Singapore.

Many bin their litter and some actively participate in litter-picking activities. We should all return our used trays and crockery to keep tables clean at hawker centres, and use public toilets responsibly and conscientiously.

NEA will continue to engage the community to demonstrate gracious behaviour, take greater ownership, and keep our environment clean.

Tony Teo
Group Director, Environmental Public Health Operations
National Environment Agency

another reply, this time from Public Hygiene Council

https://www.straitstimes.com/opinion/forum/forum-we-are-all-responsible-for-singapore-s-cleanliness


"No one but we ourselves are responsible for Singapore’s cleanliness.

Much work needs to be done before we can call ourselves a truly clean city. A good starting point is to take part in the next SG Clean Day to be held on May 13.

We strongly urge everyone to participate in clean-ups on this day, to better appreciate the work of cleaners and learn to take personal responsibility to keep our common spaces clean.

Edward D’Silva
Chairman
Public Hygiene Council"
