Social pollution

As I was taking my walk yesterday morning and saw the detritus of a complete fast food meal at the side of the road and various plastic bottles and drink cups along the W&OD Trail and the sidewalk, I said to myself, “Self—you are not in Singapore any more.”

Because Singaporeans for the most part do not litter. I think it’s partly pride in their city and respect for each other, and also partly because their government takes this kind of thing seriously.

Viz:

I did see one instance of littering, in one of the MRT stations. And it was so anomalous of course I took a photo of it.
