Written Reply to Parliamentary Question on littering in public parks by Ms Grace Fu, Minister for Sustainability and the Environment.
Question:
Mr Abdul Muhaimin Abdul Malik: To ask the Minister for Sustainability and the Environment (a) what measures are currently in place to monitor littering in public parks; and (b) whether the Ministry plans to increase enforcement patrols in public parks to deter littering.
Answer:
The National Environment Agency (NEA) and National Parks Board (NParks) monitor the cleanliness situation in public parks through ground surveillance and public feedback. To address littering issues, agencies take a targeted approach, focusing on hotspots with persistent cleanliness issues and repeated feedback. Measures taken include stepping up the frequency and visibility of enforcement patrols and deploying additional surveillance cameras at hotspots. Educational banners and standees with anti-littering messages are also put up to remind park users to exercise social responsibility.
