STOMPer Indiana Jones says that Sungei Khatib Bongsu is always littered with rubbish that people leave behind after a day of picnic and barbecue.
In an email to STOMP today (Aug 20), the STOMPer says:
”There is a dormitory for foreign workers at Yishun Ave 6. It is about 10 blocks of three-storey dorms which were built near the edge of the jungle. You can see laundry being hung up on the railings.
”On weekends the workers would find their way through the forest to go to river at Sungei Khatib Bongsu to hold their weekly picnics and drinking spree. They pass the day by swimming and fishing.
“They also set up a shrine to ask for divine protection. On Sundays they bring along their joss sticks and joss papers to pray at this shrine.
”One worker hung up his windbreaker on the tree while he plunged into the river for a swim.
Sometimes they come here to hold a barbecue and leave behind the ashes and burnt logs when they decide to call it a day.”
