STOMPer Ms Yum went to the newly-opened JCube shopping centre at
Jurong East but got a nasty surprise when she found rubbish dumped
into the hand dryer in the toilet. The mall was just reopened on
Apr 2.
Said the STOMPer (Apr 5):
"I wanted to check out the rooftop garden of JCube, so I took the
escalator up.
"There were a few dozens of people up there -- there's not much of
a garden as the place will be used for roller-blading I
think.
"I checked out the ladies' loo too. After washing my hands, I
wanted to dip them into the vertical hand dryer, but pulled back
when I saw rubbish in it.
"Scraps of used paper were blown about as I had activated the dryer
when it detected my fingers.
"I looked around but could not see a litterbin.
"Maybe the mall should provide one in the toilet so that people can
dump their litter in there, and not into the hand dryer.
"Better still if the mall could install the equally power hand
dryer that blows air downwards, and it's more hygienic as your
hands won't touch the sides accidentally.
"As for the culprit who dumped rubbish into the dryer, I suspected
it could be the heartlanders who came to visit the centre after its
opening."
