From: Toby Kuntakinte (PouletGeorge) <NOBR></NOBR> Feb-23 5:02 pm To: ALL <NOBR></NOBR> (1 of 2) <TBODY> </TBODY> 63142.1 Yes, thanks to PAP for their moronic and discriminately approved influx of Foreign Thrash !!!! http://www.straitstimes.com/print/STForum/Story/STIStory_770067.html [h=1]A tourist guide's map of cleanliness in Singapore[/h] AS A freelance tourist guide, I frequently received compliments from tourists about how clean and green Singapore is, until lately. Now, I am often obliged to clarify that while Singapore is indeed green, it is clean only in the town or tourist areas. The state of cleanliness has been deteriorating. I have noticed plastic trash lying around in public residential areas such as void decks, lift lobbies, playgrounds, pavements and public rest areas. Much of the trash is often left lying within sight, and metres away from a bin. I can think of two culprits for the littering: the large number of foreign workers who are not aware of the anti-littering rules, and young Singaporeans who seem apathetic towards maintaining public cleanliness and who do not take ownership of their living areas. I frequently visit Jurong Point shopping centre and often see groups of foreign workers sitting on the steps and edges of flower-beds outside the mall, eating and chatting. When the mall closes, the place is littered with food packets and plastic bottles, which are not only an eyesore but also unhygienic, attracting cockroaches and rats. In my estate in Eunos Crescent, the void decks look like they have not been washed for months. I often see piles of plastic food packets and empty drink cans left in public areas, waiting for the cleaners. There is also leftover cat food in the void decks, cigarette butts at bus stops' flower-beds and bits of used plaster stuck on pavements. I once saw a teenage girl dropping an empty drink carton onto a pavement, just metres from a bin, and another dropping her empty drink can onto a grass bed as she carried on walking as if it was the most normal thing to do. Companies that recruit foreign workers must explain local laws to them, and schools must find ways to effectively educate and convince students that littering is uncool and antisocial behaviour.

The influx of foreign trash has dumbed down the general populace, with the consequent reduction in innovation, productivity and social grace.
