Actually the best way is to use punish/reward to change human behaviour. The $1 deposit has solved the shopping trolley issue. Perhaps it is also time for hawkers to charge customers a 50 cent deposit for plates/bowls/cutlery and refund them on return... I guarantee it will work. If only NEA under Bala has the balls to see this through......
Only a third world country pays its cleaners $800 a month and says the cost of living is still okay.
This is an issue which will have no natural solution. The old and underprivileged will continue to be exploited unless the gahmen steps in or there's a peasant revolt.
Re: Hawker center cleaning auntie says she won't eat there becos damn dirty
Vivian is stupid lah, ang moh countries can do this coz every thing is disposable, after eating everything sweep into the dustbin. Also, their food facilitates them to use disposable utensils and cutleries.
If there is one thing her job has taught her, it is to avoid hawker food if she can help it. Mrs Lim is a cleaner at a food centre in the eastern part of Singapore, and she says she cannot abide by the state of cleanliness.
