this one is different case lah. for one, I believe they should increase enforcement. last week I have seen someone riding bicycle across overhead bridge at Teck Ghee. This morning same place, same time, I saw 4 LTA enforcers there waiting to catch such offenders.

Ya

Saw one idiot brazenly doing that when many others got off bicycle
Guy looks like Thai

 

[Joseph12]

With so many foreigners in, it's boom town for this
No kidding

Thats why its laughable some Karen asks foreign workers for their beer cans

 

[buttbERry]

Who manage the clearing and cleaning of the machines? Town council cleaners?

Better use of them then letting them clean their girlfriends' doorstep all day long. Whole estate one doorstep very clean.

If you paid for the bottle and refund the bottle. Then it’s net zero. But so many ppl go collect other ppl bottle for profit that is a different story liao?

to be frank, it's a very bad design. If you make people spend more and make it difficult to get the refund, it's a poor design.

This is exactly PAP for you

It will be interesting to reveal exactly what role they envisaged "these people" who goes around to collect cans to play

If PAP is smart they'll realise these people are the true "worker ants" who'll make the scheme a success or not

 

[Joseph12]

Anyway this thing is soooo exhausting

I don't know how those who gets 100 cans a day do it
Honestly its very difficult

There's lull periods for sure
But you need to hustle
Of course you need a proper game.plan then hustle

And some times you got something on so you can't hustle . End up your "takings" dropped by a lot
So you still hustle

Foreign workers in Jurong are giving away their empty beverage containers to a man and a woman who go around asking for them, Shin Min Daily News reported.

A member of the public tipped the Chinese media off after seeing the man and woman asking foreign workers drinking in public for the containers.

It was believed that they were collecting the containers to receive refunds at the Return Right machines under the Beverage Container Return Scheme (BCRS).

Eligible containers can receive a S$0.10 refund each.

More people asking for containers​

Shin Min reported that the man and woman were seen holding plastic bags and asking foreign workers gathered outside the mall if they were done consuming their drinks.

For some, this practice is now commonplace.

One foreign worker said he has encountered at least four middle-aged men collecting containers.

The foreign worker said: "After all, it's only worth a few cents, so it doesn't matter if I gave it to them. I told them that I hadn't finished drinking yet, and that I would hang it on the doorknob of a door after I have finished, and they would come to get it then."

Sg is becoming a country of beggars soon? Who is the 丐帮帮主?

 

[wwenze]

Coz FW are rich

Only sinkies work for $3 per hour collecting and returning bcrs

Trivia: If it takes you more than 5 minutes to take 5 bottles and walk to the bcrs machine and then 5 minutes to walk back, congratulations you are working for $3 per hour.

 

[ghregular]
