There is a big difference between tasteful art/decorations and spam flyers/stickers.
If one finds the nostalgic dragon sticker decoration is distasteful I have nothing to say liao.
Yes no doubt common areas cannot be misused by individuals for personal matters. However a town council should be run in a more 人情味 environment. Not hard and fast rules like a robot which the Mangala staff did.
A supervisor who truly will serve the people from the heart will take the initiative to take a picture and forward to MP and ask for advice. "Mr. MP this old school Toa Payoh playground dragon art work very cute leh. Should we remove it according to TC rules or keep it?" Of course a non local staff will not know such historical facts lah.
Now I ask you all another question. If during war time your officer orders you to anyhow spray bullets at innocent civillians. Will you follow hard and fast rules and execute a senseless order?
东西是死的,人是活的. Do things must use brain to do independent analysis mah.
law by law.
if everyone stick by their own liking, the common areas will be in a mess.
A lot of people like to compare.... they will said "hey, how come that guy can paste, we cannot?"
we not talking about "人情味", but rather a standard rules to follow.
Talking about army, regardless XYZ reason, all soldiers must follow orders else will be executed or court martial in more "human way"
If everyone do things in their own way/own liking, it will be havoc. This is why humans need SOP to follow or trained leader to lead their mens.
The last last person who said "东西是死的,人是活的." kena court martial
The last who said "东西是死的,人是活的." lost her hand to meat grinder
