Singapore no longer a clean city, says regular visitor

Aero7 SG

Are you Korean?

Tell me, have you ever met a Korean who is able to speak such fluent and dynamic English ( not trying to brag ) and knows a thing or two about world issues ? Koreans and Japs only know about things concerning East Asia. I have come to call this phenomenon a '' social bloc ''. Very little goes into JP and KR, and very little comes out of JP and KR. Almost like the Cold War days, somewhat. Globalization in JP and KR is extremely low.

Guess you haven't met our Sgf resident Korean Fry, he is well travelled and informed.

His English is fluent and comprehensive too.

Ahhh, I'm sure he has some ''American connections'' ... if not, then I guess there's always that one in a million black sheep in the crowd.

Not really.

Thanks. Glad to see there are others who realize the problem for what it actually is. Nowadays, it's about pointing fingers, about finding that scapegoat, that someone to blame. We tend to blame our governments for everything. No one man or force is to be held responsible for a problem, it's always a string of men or forces. That ''string'' includes us as well, more than often.

yeap. We always accuse this person and that person and always fail to realise many a times the fault may lie with us too. I always believe that one person can influence another person, then a group, then more and more people. We should all start to do something :D

Aero7 SG

Not really.

In that case, I'll be looking forward to talking to him sometime soon.

Aero7 SG

Thanks. Taking care of our world is a team effort.

askandanswer SG

Lol. It is increasingly more and more like a modern city. Like New York or London.

charlize SG

Times are bad.

Ah Gong SG

best is to put a litter bin every 5 steps so it will be less motivating for ppl to litter

mancha SG

There are people who still don't throw their litter into the bins. They put it on or around the bins.

charlize SG

I think still cleaner than most other places.

Itedino SG

They compare the toilets in sINGAPORE and toilets in their countries before they comment

mancha SG

Whether it is in Singapore or else where in the world, litter will fall and accumulate at public places all over the world. It just a matter of whether there are sweepers or not.

The poor sectors, ie the slum areas, usually do not have sweepers or have sweeping irregularly. So the litter present an unkempt sight there.

Where else the upmarket areas are swept regularly, or complaints will surface, so they look clean.

Jacychong10 SG

But it eventually boils down to one's education since young. If everyone has the social responsibility to not litter, I think we don't even need sweepers, do we?

Clivebenss SG

The sweepers sweep the fallen leaves too. Sg can be botak so no leaves and be clean?

Jacychong10 SG

LOL.

Then I rephrase. We won't need as many sweepers. Heeehee.

But then again, I see more and more trees being cut down nowadays T.T

troublemaker2005 SG

you can have one army of sweepers, but as long as the people keep putting rubbish at the wrong plases, rubbish can just appear at places you think it won;t be. and why? look around, how many trashes 'T' we have in the nations? no the culprit is not sgreans, its thos etrashes that ends with 'T'
