The National Environment Agency or NEA urges the public to act
responsibly during the festive celebrations.
Members of the public taking part in the Christmas Eve and New
Year's Eve countdown parties along Orchard Road, Marina Bay and
other locations in Singapore are reminded not to litter.
The public is also advised against patronizing any items such as
food, drinks and party novelties from illegal hawkers.
The NEA Officers present will not hesitate to take stern
enforcement action against all littering offenders and illegal
hawkers:
First-time littering offenders, who discard minor litter such as
sweet wrappers, cigarette butts, parking coupon tabs and others
improperly, can be fined $200.
Repeat littering offenders and first-time offenders who throw
larger items such as plastic bags, food wrappers, drink cups and
more will be sent to court where they may be imposed with a
Corrective Work Order.
Illegal hawkers when apprehended may be sent to the Courts
where, on conviction, be fined up to a thousand dollars for a first
offender.
Their wares will also be seized. --938Live
