Woman leaves dog poo around Punggol estate -- and residents feeling crappy

"It started again and worse than ever before."
Original article:
Residents in Punggol are frustrated over repeated instances of dog poo being left around the neighbourhood by a helper.
A Stomper living at Block 306D Punggol Drive Treelodge @ Punggol said the issue has persisted since October 2024.
"This maid lets the dog poo and does not pick up the poo. When approached by one of the residents, she replied that everyone also does that," the Stomper added.
Photos from the Stomper showed pieces of dog poo scattered across both the grass and floor of the neighbourhood.
The Stomper said: "When told that it is an offence to not pck up the poo, she arrogantly ignores and leaves the place. It happens every single day for months."
The collective frustration of the residents was expressed in a neighbourhood WhatsApp group, with residents claiming the maid lives at another block.
"Reports were made to many authority bodies but the situation didn't stop. So, one of the residents made a poster and put it around all the level 1 and 2 lift landings. The posters have been taken down recently, don't know by who.
"The posters were pasted on the lift landing, hoping the message will get to the employer."
"Numerous complaints were made to the town council and NParks. Most of them were done via the LifeSG app. They are rectified but we the residents don't know what has been done.
"Previously, when such complaints were made, the occurrences would stop for a while and then start again.
"Another report was made via OneService. I guess they treated it as a dirty area and cleaned it up, so then they closed the case."
"I just feel sometimes the old method of speaking to a real human will better rectify this problem."
Stomp has reached out to the town council for comment
