A ‘serial high-rise litterbug’ has become TikTok famous, but perhaps not famous enough for action to be taken yet.
Therefore, residents at Block 471C Fernvale Street are banding together to file a case through the National Environment Agency’s OneService app when the pooper strikes again.
On the TikTok account of TracedTogether, there’s a montage posted on July 5 of plastic bags on the ground, allegedly containing feces, from different dates from May 5 to July 1.

It also contains a screenshot of complaints files via the OneService app.
Nothing about the complaint was reportedly done, save for sending cleaners to remove the poop, according to @TracedTogether.
The video has been viewed over 93,500 times.
On July 6, a follow-up video was posted.
@tracedtogether Reply to @tracedtogether This morning, the litterbug threw down two bags – containing ur1ne and faece5. Based on last video, yall might have thot that it was a sporadic behaviour but nope! It’s a thrice-a-day act. Really hope @nea_sg could take action. Thank you! 🙏🏽 #tiktoksg #fyp #fypsg #sengkang

A contributor to the crowdsourced news site Stomp named Adriel said that this happens daily and has been going on for months.
Adriel told Stomp that reports have been lodged with the Ang Mo Kio Town Council, the NEA, and the police.
But it appears that “more” is needed in order for the case to be lodged.
“NEA replied last month. They stated that only two members of the public reported the case through OneService app.
They need more in order to lodge the case.
So when the next case happens, the residents will gather together and log another case through the OneService app.
I have spoken to the town council and they too brought this matter up to NEA.
NEA replied the same thing to the town council. Lack of complaints through OneService app,” STOMP quotes Adriel as saying.
He added that he brought the story to STOMP in the hopes that “through the media, we can put a stop to this inconsiderate action.”
STOMP reached out to the Ang Mo Kio Town Council, which confirmed incidents reported of high-rise littering on May 20 and June 26.
“We had referred both incidents to NEA for their assistance. At the same time, we have been liaising closely with NEA and had put up notices to remind residents of the risks that high-rise littering posed to public health and safety,” the Town Council added. /TISG
