NEA: Litterbug fined S$300 was caught shooting 2 rubber bands onto public road
Referring to the offence involving rubber bands, the NEA confirmed that it had taken place on Thursday, May 23. According to the agency, two NEA enforcement officers had witnessed a man walking towards his car. In his hands were two rubber bands which he shot “one after the other, into the air”.
The trajectory of this reckless rubber band shooting caused both articles to land on the surface of a public road. “Our officers thus informed him of the littering offence and issued him an enforcement ticket,” said the NEA.
The agency also added that the offender — perhaps realising the folly of his ways — was cooperative with the officers. The offender received a S$300 fine.

S$300 fine for leaving rubber band behind; littering, a serious offence in Singapore
In Singapore, committing a littering offence does not just mean intentionally dropping trash on the road; even if you accidentally leave something behind, you can be charged and fined S$300.
This is what happened to two Singaporeans who left a rubber band and a drinking can on separate occasions. Both were issued a S$300 fine each for littering and their fine tickets were circulated on-line.
One ticket showed a fine being issued for throwing a rubber band in a public area in Jurong East on May 23, 2019. The other was issued on the afternoon of May 16, after the offender was spotted leaving a canned drink behind.

Lan Lan I agree that a fine need be imposed BUT CERTAINLY NOT A $300/- fine.
May be a fine of $50 or $100 which fine must be paid by the person who committed the offence.
The inconvenience of personally paying the fine will be a good learning lesson.

How much time was used to follow the offender & efforts to trace the flight of the 2 rubber bands to see where they landed on the road as they would be used as evidence of the offence?

From Teabags to Soiled Diaper & Sanitary Pad to Killer Litter
The Tea Bag Tree of Bukit Merah View
After the Cleaner Appreciation event yesterday afternoon (see post below), I took a walk around the common space at blks 128, 129 and 130 Bukit Merah View and checked out the environment.
Was dismayed to see this palm tree adorned with tea bags, obviously thrown from a higher floor and which had snagged on the leaves and branches. It was like a Christmas tree except that instead of pretty ornaments, this poor tree was festooned with used Dilmah tea bags!
Was it really so difficult, one wonders, to lift the tea bag out of the mug or cup, and carry it a few feet to the rubbish container that must surely be in the home?
