A netizen posted a Facebook post stating her witnessing man people waiting for durians to drop and not wearing safety helmets. She took a couple of photos and stated that there were signboards warning the public of fruits dropping from trees.
Here is her Facebook post:
“Went for a walk at Yishun Park with my husband. Not long into the walk, we saw this group of fellow park visitors standing around some trees, well-spaced from one another. I had initially thought they were playing a game or about to start some group exercise and were strictly observing the prevailing safe distancing measures. But curious onlookers standing around looking at them made me realise there was more than meets the eye
They were actually waiting for the durians on the durian tree branches above them to fall! “Isn’t that dangerous? Shouldn’t they be wearing hard hats?” I asked my husband.
Not sure how workplace safety and health regulations will apply here! There were many durians up on the durian tree.
but we decided let’s not join in the (risky) wait. We went to a durian stall not too far from the park, and picked a couple of durians to enjoy at home instead. “
