One operator in Jurong West has installed two cameras on the
ceiling of the common toilet, which houses shower and toilet
stalls, urinals, and a row of wash basins.
IT IS common for foreign worker dormitory operators to install
closed-circuit television cameras at the entrances to their
buildings and in other common areas, to monitor any shenanigans
involving the residents.
But one operator in Jurong West has gone a step further and
installed two cameras on the ceiling of the common toilet, which
houses shower and toilet stalls, urinals, and a row of wash
basins.
Lockson Hydraulics, which runs the dormitory and is also a
scaffolding company, said the cameras - part of a network of 24
electronic eyes on the premises - were put up to deter water
wastage after its water bills soared and repeated calls to its
residents to save water went unheeded.
