<DIV class=story_text>ENTER a lift in any of the 12 HDB blocks in Jalan Kukoh off Chin Swee Road and chances are you will be hit by the stench of stale urine.
The pong hangs over the stairwells too.
The grassroots groups in the Kreta Ayer-Kim Seng GRC have sprung into action to wipe out the neighbourhood's stink, with a public education programme launched yesterday.
Central to it are A3-sized posters which will go up in the 'hot spots' to drive home the message that urinating in public is bad behaviour that inconveniences other people.
The identified hot spots include lifts, dark corridors, stairwells and the blocks of flats near the neighbourhood's hawker centre.
The posters also remind residents not to spit and litter.
And if they do not take a look at the posters, they will at least get constant reminders from their Member of Parliament Lily Neo when she does her rounds of the homes there.
Madam Ernawati Pan, who has lived in the estate for 17 years, said the blocks underwent improvement works last year to spruce them up, but the people's habits have yet to match up.

what are we defending for in Singapore ?
Our lively hood ? our education ? our future ?
Foreigners squeezed our NS Men out of business, squeezed out of jobs, squeezed out of university places.
We are even squeezed out of MRT trains and buses, squeezed out neighbourhood parks, squeezed out of heartland shopping centers, etc.
What are there left in Singapore to defend ? all invaded by foreigners whom we earlier identified at possible enemies in the 1970s and 1980s.
