TRAFFIC LIGHT BUTTON VANDALISED WITH ALLEGED ‘SAFE ENTRY’ STICKERS

A netizen recently took a picture of a traffic light button and uploaded it onto social media to voice displeasure over its bad condition.

A closer look at the traffic light button shows that it has been heavily vandalised with many stickers which are usually given to patrons who have successfully checked in and enter a mall or an eatery.

It is unknown so far as to where the traffic light is located at but it is definitely in Singapore given that there is a ‘Land Transport Authority’ sign attached to the pole of the traffic light.

The netizen had also captioned the post with the caption ‘Didnt know Singaporeans so creative nowadays‘.

Here are some of the comments by netizens:

• Still don’t understand why stickers have to be given. Waste of stickers and resources.
• Bette check at little india oh my Gods is a lot off this kind many colors.
• Not creative but totally inconsiderate behaviour! Cleaner’s will gave a hard time removing all these stickers.
• In the first place they should not give any stickers to ppl for dinning in the market
• no purpose of issue the stickers when no one enforce. I saw a lot of people eat inside the hawker without the stickers. Just create another problem only
• In case ppl did not know, this is considered vandalism.
• Initially I thought these stickers were temporary measures… at this age there should be something more systematic/ automated/ reusable… but after so long, it’s still stickers.
