The STOMPer commented:

"Singapore has become a slump resort city.

"Disgusting...

"A forum page, a tourist who had been here before a few years back and admired our clean and green Singapore says he is disappointed to find the change in Singapore now.

"Streets littered with rubbish...

"It's sad.

"What is happening to our society?

"Are we turning into a 'China' Singapore?"
