You mean to say, so long as it is a public area, there is no
duty for the government or public to ensure it's safety?
Think about the potted plants being placed outside the ledges of
HDB flats not too long ago, aka killer litter.
Didn't the HDB imposed jail sentences and fines to prevent home
owners from placing their potted plants on ledges? The area under
HDB block is public area.
So I guess it's alright for me to place a wooden block spiked with
nails on the expressway just because it's public area. Wait, with
you kind of mentality maybe I should put things in
perspective.
I will put a piece of wooden block spiked with nails perched on the
branches of some trees on the expressway. Should it rain ever so
heavily, the wooden block will fall, thereby causing either the
wooden block spiked with nails to hit some motorcyclist on the face
or land on the road and cause some major accident due to the car
tyres blowing at high speed.
I am free from blame, because it was an act of god, I place the
wooden block spiked with nails on the tree not expecting it to fall
when it rains.
Whether public or private does not change the issues, the
government has the obligation to provide for the safety of the
public.
