Yishun resident says he had knock on the door at 2am asking if he threw litter down HDB block
A resident said he was awakened by high-rise littering during the wee hours of July 13 – and people questioning him about it.
Stomper Jason shared photos of clothes and Shein bags discarded at the foot of Block 363 Yishun Ring Road.
Shein is an online fast fashion retailer that was founded in China and is currently headquartered in Singapore.
Jason told Stomp: "Someone threw all these from height and the police knocked on my door at 2am, asking if I had thrown them from my master bedroom. They mentioned that someone had reported the incident and they are investigating.
"I denied doing so. They took down my particulars and left.
"I have spoken to a town council officer, who told me that high-rise litter is always happening."
In response to a Stomp query, a spokeswoman for Nee Soon Town Council said: "High-rise littering is a dangerous, irresponsible and anti-social act.
"We have informed the National Environment Agency (NEA) of this high-rise littering case.
"We have also stepped up communications to residents of the affected block to remind them of the seriousness of high-rise littering."
Residents are urged to contact NEA at 1800 2255 632 or through the OneService app if they have any information regarding the identity of those responsible.
The spokeswoman also said: "In addition, Nee Soon Town Council's property teams and estate ambassadors regularly walk the ground and will be vigilant in reporting such acts to the NEA for enforcement."
