This group of jiak leow bee must be assigned to hdb rubbish collection for one mth to go to the chute and take out the bins with unbagged trash hopefully with leftover food items and gravy. Must push their fat heads inside to have a good sniff. Make sure they will never forget the stench ever in their life. Make sure they go through what the cleaners have to go through daily.

 

[GenXYZ]

yes, the solution to any problem is always fines, surcharges, taxes and MORE taxes!

 

[tomsss]

[Thoreldan]

Wah so smart these researchers.

Why not jitao jail people who need plastic bags ?

 

[Big Chicken]

These clowns obviously never stepped into a supermarket before, everything send their maids to do.

This platic bag charge is pure retardation. Wan to discourage plastic bag usage but nvr make infra change to waste disposal, end of the day ppl still need to use plastic bag, we r jus made to pay for them now.

They should start to charge for disposable cutleries too, many idiots are abusing these even when they dine in! Some places take this to another level , they don't use reusable plates, bowls and cutleries at all!

 

[weiess]

how about just ban it..

 

[skylink67]

How about this proposal: Fire NUS researchers may deter this kind of garbage research.

[Senna Wales]

1 bag of rubbish daily is minimum already. 4 a week? That’s just fiction.
