Singaporeans are made to believe that their Nation is truly of a First-World type where everything is spick and span and nothing is done in a manner that may affect the well-being of Singaporeans.........Only fools will believe.......
Just look at the way rubbish collection takes place everyday in public and private estates, including commercial areas.
Once upon a time these was the exclusive responsibility of Kementerian Tong Sampah (Environment Ministry). Today, it has been "out-sourced" to some other operators like what has been done for so many other services.
Whenever these truck comes out to the rubbish collection centre, the whole estate and commercial area reeks of a horrible odour.
The stench enters homes and along with it microscopic bacteria and germs.
The truck then leaves the area with "dirty water" spilling onto the roads. Another source of public hazard.
At times mynah birds will "escort" these trucks helping themselves to certain "morsels".
The poor men standing behind these trucks are fully exposed to millions of germs day in and day out.
None of these lowly-paid attendants (earning peanuts and without medical benefits) wear protective masks. The company maybe saving money by not giving a damn to the health of these workers.
The filthy water spilling onto the road everday from such trucks is surely a "bank" of germs and hazardous to our little children and all of the rest who are are smelling the "aroma" everyday.
Surprisingly none of our so-called brilliant MPs, Ministers and top leaders brought such an issue up.
In Australia (a nation that spends so much on free health care and other welfare) this IS NOT the case.
Why is such a despicable habit allowed to flourish in a First-World Singapore - a nation of so few people compared to Australia?
Why can't these rubbish collection firms douse the rubbish with some disinfectants like the olden days "ayer-busuk".
The government wants to save money and so had such a health-risk service out-sourced. The companies now doing the service is also equally more smarter then the government. They too wants to save $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
More then 30 years ago, it was the same with the "36-doors Mercedes trucks" that went round collecting human faeces. I am sure readers can remember that horrible stench.......
Maybe the Menteri Tong Sampah Singapura would want to comment on these thread.
