Everyone for themselves has been the ethos of the PAP government since independence. That's how it justifies paying themselves world's highest paid ministers, making hundreds of billions in 'subsidized' housing, ripping us off on our retirement savings.
A hawker centre or food court is a commercial establishment, but there is nothing to stop you from clearing your tray like in a fast food restaurant.
Once I had a colleague who visited from a European country, after eating in a fast food restaurant, he promptly cleared his tray, while I was prepared to leave mine. If you consider the consideration perspective, clearing not only helps the cleaners, it also allows other customers to be able to take your seat faster. If you expect your tray to be cleared for you, perhaps you would expect it to be served to you as well. I hope you are not one of those who peers intently at his mobile device at a crowded foodcourt or a fastfood outlet during lunchtime either.
Don't always let going against the government influence you against ALL government policies or initiatives. Not every single one of their policies or initiatives is going to be bad, although the high handed and arrogant way they try to push them on impressionable sinkies can certainly be disgusting at times.
The problem is not ALL their initiatives and policies. The problem as I have said time and again started more than 50 years ago, with someone whose death will actually make no difference because his mentality and mindset has already been acquired or inherited by many. :(
It is culture & upbringing, I automatically will clear the table or discard my rubbish in receptacles that are suitable for them, without being told. But, there are places...many these days..I FIND NO DUSTBINS...& over the years, I clear my tray, I look like a PARIAH. I do not blame the people for behaving that way & I tend to follow them, but I resist..I clear the tray; then again, I think of the MONEY FACE GOVERNMENT I have, I dump the tray where it is for the cleaners, to clean after me...that goes for the litter too..no dustbins, no one looking . I stuff them in crevices or holes I can find...
Very good.
For those places that don't provide tray return places or dustbins, then too bad. It's obvious that they would prefer to clear it themselves, so leave it.
As for giving up our seat in public transport to those who need it more, errrrrrrr, ahem ............................................... :o

If the cleaner uncles and aunties are gone, so be it.
The elderly should not be working as cleaners in the first place.
don't use angmo standards to compare, limpeh not angmo so I dun like to follow the angmo nonsense. I grow up without need to return used utensils in hawker centre and I aren't start doing now to please the pap arseholes.
Maybe they were brought down by a strong wind? Try suing that for mischief.
