Javan Mynas flock & feast leftovers on tables at Sengkang Square Kopitiam

Netizen Joshua Chen ranted about Javan Mynas that flocked and feasted on leftovers on tables at Sengkang Square Kopitiam via the Facebook group Complaint Singapore.

Mr Chen expressed his dismay in his post and called out, “HELLO National Environment Agency (NEA) AND Kopitiam & Foodfare. WHY IS THERE MANY BURD ATTACK THE FOOD AT SENGKANG SWUARE. VERY DIRTY DISGUSTING. HOW CAN THIS BE ALLOW??”

Some netizens made fun of the scenario, saying that the Mynas want GST cash vouchers too and that they should be allowed to eat as they are keeping the five-person gathering rule in order to not break the law.

Other netizens took on a more serious note and stated that diners, stall owners and cleaners are all responsible for working together to ensure hygiene and prevent the spread of disease.

However, netizens believe people should do their part in keeping these publicly shared places clean, as this should be a part of dining etiquette.

Kopitiam on their Facebook page encouraged their customers in returning their trays and cutleries. They also mentioned they practice regular cleaning & sanitising of all their outlets.

As one of the netizens, William Lew believed that sanitation is a group effort, “Diners must return the trays after finish eating, food stall owners must help to keep away the birds and remind the cleaners to clear the trays.” /TISG
