kobayashiGT Internal Moderator November 19, 2019 Share November 19, 2019 S’pore Residents Will Take Over Cleaners For 1 Day In Apr 2020 To Learn How Much We Waste source: https://mustsharenews.com/cleaners-cleansg-day/ CleanSG Day Lets Cleaners Take A Day Off So Residents Will Do Their Jobs Instead Most of us empathise with cleaners who pick up after our mess, but how much would we be willing to do the same? Whether we can do it won’t be a question in April 2020, when the Public Hygiene Council (PHC) launches CleanSG Day, an initiative to encourage people “to take personal responsibility for the cleanliness of our common spaces”. For 1 day in that month, cleaners across Singapore will either get a lighter workload or a whole day off, while residents take over their jobs. The exact date is yet to be confirmed. Cleaners can rest while residents do their work According to an article by Eco-Business, next year will be the first time that CleanSG will occur nationwide, after trial runs in several districts. In Nee Soon, where the trial had run, professional cleaners left parts of the area uncleaned so residents had to do it themselves instead. Quote Okay, wait a sec. I don't think this work with Singaporeans. I think the rubbish will accumulate until the next day and the cleaner have to work extra harder. MP Louis Ng observed that residents who did so learnt just how much waste we generate, and that Singapore is “a cleaned city rather than a clean city”. So giving cleaners a lighter workload or rest will hopefully encourage more residents island-wide to step up and learn the same lesson. Furthermore, the national initiative could be a way of showing our gratitude towards the cleaners who don’t get enough recognition for their tireless efforts. Individual responsibility to keep Singapore clean Though we may depend on cleaners to keep large areas of Singapore clean, smaller acts like picking up stray pieces of litter is something we can all try to do. After all, it doesn’t take much to simply throw rubbish into the bin. Dirty streets are surely an eyesore to everyone. We hope that the initiative will work out smoothly and that Singaporeans will do their parts to help on that day. Quote Make that day a official holiday! ↡ Advertisement 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will work la. Since that day is planned in advanced, the PA will get their lackeys to organize some folks to clean. Not enough then call MOE to support and get students to do it as part of their "learning". I dare them to do it unplanned. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carrying the bulky items downstairs uses lots of energy, if they call the TC to come dispose, they only need to push the item outside their house. Lol. Maybe they do not aware of such service from TC? Edited November 19, 2019 by 13177 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kb27 Supersonic November 19, 2019 Share November 19, 2019 Waste ? the gahmen is the single biggest waster. just look at your surrounding. one day somebody comes to tear some things down, and the next someone comes to rebuild it. then it keeps repeating. and how many times have you seen roads being dug out, put back, repaved, re-dug again. not waste ?

Beethong 3rd Gear November 19, 2019 Share November 19, 2019 Can we also take over the job and pay of mp for a day to see how much work they have to do?
