Even though each household contains a rubbish chute, it seems certain residents at Block 8 Lorong 7 Toa Payoh are dumping their rubbish at the lift lobby on the eleventh floor. The garbage poses a potential fire hazard if cigarette butts are thrown onto the pile.


This inconsiderate behavior caused STOMPer Ms Chua to wonder:


“Isn’t there a rubbish chute in every household?


“Or can't these people just dump it at the bin centre?


“What if a cigarette butt was thrown onto this pile of rubbish?


“I guess the entire building will be burnt down! So inconsiderate!”

That is because these residents haven't received a ticket yet

It was out of civic-mindedness that STOMPer Arman picked up the bottle that this man threw away. However, when the STOMPer tried to warn him against littering, the man threw the bottle back at him.

STOMPer Arman shares his unpleasant encounter:

"On 31st July at around 9am, this man wearing a Swensen's polo tee was first spotted throwing a potato chip wrapper blatantly while waiting for the 315 bus at Serangoon Bus Interchange.

"After buying a bottle of water, he threw the bottle cap in the air before drinking the water.

"As my friend and I expected him to throw the bottle away as well, we started recording this video.

"Sure enough, he proceeded to do so.

"Disgusted by his actions, I picked up the bottle and gave it back to him without saying anything.

"Usually when I do this, most people will ashamed by their act and will apologize. But not this man as he was clearly defiant.

"I scolded him for his act but he was neither ashamed nor bothered.

"Though this matter is small and doesn't seem important enough to involve the police, I feel that it shouldn't go unnoticed."
