After a Singaporean shared a disappointing photo of a bus stop with litter all over, many others showed support in calling out such behaviour.
An online user on Friday (Sept 23) took to an online news forum to share a photo of a bus stop at Peace Centre tainted with litter. The user called out the irresponsibility shown by people who just leave their rubbish lying around. “Come on now,” the post read, “We can do better than this. What a disgrace. Peace Centre bus stop on Selegie.”

Many other online users who saw the post were quick to share their upsetness over the sight.
While some guessed that it may be the doing of drunk people, others empathised with the cleaners who would eventually have to clean up the mess. “Bless the souls of the poor cleaners that have to clean it,” wrote one netizen. “These folks are not being paid enough, to be honest. Rather than adding to their workload, we should instead reduce it.”
Still, another said, “People living in Singapore aren’t clean. We just have a lot of cleaners.”
Other netizens simply expressed their exasperation. “Really wanna know what’s going through the mind of people that did this,” wrote one, “Probably nothing, actually.”
In Singapore, littering can be fined up to S$2,000.
