It was a regular day in Singapore and a man noticed something on the ground near an ATM machine. Upon closer inspection.

The man saw a pile of receipts that had been left behind. He was astounded at the amount of paper littering the ground, and it made the man realize that this kind of behaviour was not acceptable in a first world country like Singapore.
The man who posted the photo said:
“Guys come on, we are first world country. location AMK central stage DBS outlet, 23rd Jan noon time”
Netizens said:
- I couldn’t understand why people would be so careless as to leave their receipts behind, or why no one had bothered to pick them up. I thought about how much time and energy it would take to clean up the mess and thought about all the other places in the world that could benefit from these resources.
- Dk whats so hard to keep the receipt in their pockets and throw it when they see a bin
- There’s an option to see the account balance without printing a hard copy. If only the fella who throw these slips were to know that scammers can steal their money with these slips, they will then stop printing them or will keep them after printing them. Alternatively, the banks can start charging a nominal fee for printing.
- 1st world but swamp with 3rd world people. It’s citizens are overwhelmed by them, aided by govt, pushed aside. Majority has become victims of cheap 3rd world labour as a result, getting low wages.
- We hv littering laws for years plus cctvs around !. So, it’s high time for d authorities to round up those litterbugs. In fact, d authorities can trace d owners’ receipts; right ?
- I don’t see this in many places with atm like kiosks or at the malls. Sg ppl are scared to get caught of littering because there are cctvs always so this one is just weird. Even at the hawker atms you don’t have this.
