Nee Soon MP Carrie Tan was spotted at Nee Soon South on Sunday morning (2 Aug) picking up litter in the vicinity. She even stated in her Facebook post that she will be at coffeeshops every month to help pick up trash. Tan said that she wants to lead by example in hope that everyone can cultivate this good habit as well.
Here is what she stated in her Facebook post.
“This morning, on my way to coffeeshops and at the coffeeshops themselves, I took part in a cleanliness exercise and picked up tissue paper and other trash. I reminded patrons and residents to dispose of their tissue carefully after eating, to prevent tissues being blown around by the wind and fan.
Used tissues carry germs and when tissues fly around, germs spread too. I promised to support the Public Hygiene Council and our coffeeshops with community education so that all users of communal premises will also do their part to keep Nee Soon South clean and green and healthy!
Let’s cooperate and keep our used tissues in our pockets or throw them in the bin. This will also help the cleaning aunties and uncles. Don’t make them work so hard.
From now on, I will be at coffeeshops every month helping to pick up trash. I hope that by being an example, I will also cultivate this good habit along with everyone else.”
