More Singaporeans are littering in public places despite the rubbish bins that are provided for them which can be found everywhere. Leaving their litter on the ground, void decks and grass patches which caused an inconvenience to everyone.
Someone found a rubbish bin which was overloaded with with rubbish. It resulted in people just throwing their litter on the ground near the bin. It was a disturbance to the people who walked past and which might resulted in foreigners thinking that Singaporeans do not have morals.
Authorities were informed about the situation and actions were taken. Patrols and investigations will take place if the problem continues. Furthermore, educational posters and advisories will be displayed to educate residents against littering.
A anti-littering campaign was launched last June to help create awareness and remind the residents not to litter. Greater surveillance and enforcement were reinforced to help find out who the litterbugs are, this would help to lower the number of littering cases in Singapore.
