Baey Yam Keng calls out litter & mishandled books at community library in Tampines
Just over three months since it reopened, a community library in Tampines is in a mess, with books and furniture in disarray.
The situation has led Tampines GRC MP Baey Yam Keng to say he is “saddened” to see the state of the premises.

Tampines library left in a mess: Baey
In a Facebook post last Saturday (4 April), Mr Baey cited recent feedback about the Tampines GreenCourt Community Library being “misused and left in a mess”.
Books had been “mishandled” and furniture “misused”, he said, adding that users had also left litter behind.
He noted that the space was sometimes used as a “drop-off area” for children, with parents or caregivers not ensuring that the kids left the place in good condition.
Empty bottles left behind, poo seen on flooring
A photo that the MP shared showed three empty plastic drink bottles left on a discoloured table in the library.
One of the bottles appeared to have been burnt in half for some reason, with the charred neck left behind.

Next to the table was a chair that had toppled over.
Another photo showed what appeared to be poo on the fake grass flooring.
