Plastic bags beside chutes still not so bad. I always find plastic bags on the chute lid halfway hanging, as a result i cannot throw my rubbish!

Haa, I keep telling myself: going to move house soon, be more patient. My new house in Punggol, 4 residents share 1 chute should be not so bad compared to current 8 to 1.

Icedbs Turbocharged December 6, 2017 Share December 6, 2017 Of late, I have seen many HDB 's owner dumping unwanted stuff along lift-lobby. We can understand during peak season like CNY, HRP, Deepavali or X'mas season. 2day, I saw a 70% used tyre dumped along side the lift lobby, if the owner can be bothered to bring it downstair, at least have the courtesy to carry to the rubbish chute behind, should we start a thread to shame this dumper or educate them proper, cast your vote. Kam xia lu ! what have fellow MCF seen of late/ recently duped items a) Sofa set, old furnitures b) Lack of civic consciousness is just a consequence. The root cause is lack of consideration for others. Sporeans, somehow has this mentality that as long they don't lose and they are not being inconvenient, they don't quite care what happen to others. It is not that Sporeans are impolite, they often do, but most do not strive for fairness and consideration for others. We have grown a lot as a country and I wish we had grown more in terms of consideration for others. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victor68 Turbocharged December 6, 2017 Share December 6, 2017 We do have problems identifying if these people are Singaporeans or not. I am hoping majorities or not. But they how can we influence them to be us? Of course the best place to cultivate is home but schools play a very important part because they spend many hours there. Once the habits are inculcated they will be burnt in for a long time. Instead of just focusing on academic results, schools must set aside time in their curriculum to instill in them when young.

For example, if they generally don't clear their plates at home because they have maid. in school they are required to do so and ensure table is wiped, over time, this will be an habit.

If the parents are not civil minded, whatever they practice in school will be overwrite by how the parents behave or even tell them upfront no need to be considerate. What happen at home is the real behavior, what they do in school can be for show only. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
