Committee of Supply 2024 debate, Day 4: Liang Eng Hwa on public cleanliness
Despite numerous efforts by agencies such as the National Environment Agency, town councils and others, the state of public cleanliness and hygiene is yet to be desired, said MP Liang Eng Hwa in Parliament on Monday (Mar 4). He added that while the majority of the public are socially responsible, there is still a recalcitrant minority that continues to be inconsiderate and behave irresponsibly. He asked the Ministry of Sustainability and the Environment (MSE) if surveillance and enforcement can be significantly beefed up to deter more of such inconsiderate behaviours. He also wanted to know MSE's plans to further enhance efforts to keep Singapore clean, especially at littering hotspots around the island.
