Glass & ceramic items thrown from Choa Chu Kang HDB block, Jeffrey Siow says 'not the first time'

Glass and ceramic items have been repeatedly thrown from height at Blk 802A Keat Hong Close. 

In a Facebook post on Nov. 25, Choa Chu Kang GRC Member of Parliament (MP) Jeffrey Siow said he was alerted to the incident and that it is "not the first time it has happened".

The National Environment Agency (NEA) has since deployed cameras to catch the perpetrator.

Killer litter

Photos shared in his post showed parts of the void deck cordoned off with orange safety netting and tape.

It did not specify exactly what the items were.

A signboard by the police was placed near the lift lobby, warning residents that throwing killer litter is a criminal offence.

An advisory by NEA was also put up on the wall.

The Acting Transport Minister added that NEA, the Singapore Police Force (SPF), and the Town Council are working together to take action.

Anyone with information that could be used to help apprehend the culprit should contact SPF or NEA, he urged.

Illegal in Singapore

High-rise littering is illegal in Singapore.

Offenders caught littering from residential flats may be fined up to S$2,000 for a first conviction, S$4,000 for a second conviction, and S$10,000 for the third and subsequent conviction.

The court may also impose a corrective work order, requiring offenders to clean public areas for up to 12 hours.
