Lee Hong Chuang a member of PAP reported the findings

In his Facebook post he said:

“It has come to my attention that there are 2 defects in the infrastructure at Hougang Meadow. “

“1) base of a trunking system/pillar has fallen off, which might potentially cause other problems for residents.”

“2) a severely corroded door frame which can cause the door to collapse and pose as a safety hazard to residents. Thanks to the resident for informing me this morning and I have informed the relevant authorities to look into it as well.”

I hope #NEA or #towncouncil will look into the matter and get the culprit. For mine, the culprit threw bags of rubbish/food containers/used big detergent bottles down. This has been going on for months and not just me who encounter it. Once my neighbour heard a loud bang from the MSCP and when he looked out and discovered trash was on the grass verge.

I am unable to identify the unit and reported it through One Service app. First time reporting, no finding and case closed without placing any camera. So lucky that MP doing a house visit and reported the incident to him. The following month, the same thing happened. Reported through the One Service app and email my MP about the case.

I was like… I made the effort to meet up and being corporative but you..?!?!?

One day #NEA officer, called me and I informed them that they have placed the camera at the wrong placement; and I am able to meet up with him to advise better on the scene. But was brushed off as he claimed he has no time and let day of the camera being deployed. So I asked him, is he waiting for someone to get injured, the officer then informed me to report again when I discovered throwing again.

Authorities should send more safe distance officers to the hawker near OG Chinatown. So many uncles gathering to drink and talk and sitting in groups of more than 3 pax.

Correct me if I am wrong though hawker still sitting in groups of 2?

First-time offenders who breach safe distancing measures are fined $300.

For non-compliance with safe management measures under the COVID-19 offenders may be jailed for up to six months, fined up to S$10,000, or both.

If they are caught by the Police for not wearing a mask or not wearing a mask properly they can be charged under the Covid-19 (Temporary Measures) (Control Order) Regulations 2020.

Penalties include a fine of up to SGD$10,000 and jailed for up to six months.

Netizens said:

This is the problem when you’re lead under idiots…pick and choose where to apply safe distance rule is the most stupid idea ever…you should go and complaint to SMRT la, everyday pack like sardines fish so what makes u think that you’ll be safe under such a close distance to each other even you’re wearing a mask? The worst is that they keep importing cases from overseas why are you keep silent?,

A netizen shared a photo of a woman (presumably herself) squatting outside a shopping mall to eat some cup noodles.

She said that “the only Chinese privilege I can think of: Breakfast at Tiffany’s 😀 “

She added: “Doing the Asian Squat with a cup noodle. No one thinks I am mad or insane…”
