Written Reply to Parliamentary Question on Recalcitrant Litterbugs

5 March 2026

Written Reply to Parliamentary Question on recalcitrant litterbugs 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 in 2025 (a) how many individuals were caught littering in public parks; (b) of these individuals, how many were classified as recalcitrant litterbugs; (c) whether any images of individuals caught littering in public parks have been displayed publicly to aid in identification.

Answer:

In 2025, the National Environment Agency (NEA) and National Parks Board (NParks) took enforcement actions against 48 offenders for littering in public parks and nature areas, of which 2 were repeat offenders. 

NEA and NParks may deploy surveillance cameras to monitor cleanliness hotspots. Where there is a need to seek support from the community to identify egregious offenders, NEA may also publicly display CCTV footage of individuals caught littering. NEA has not done so to date.
