“Disgusting” was how some Bedok residents described the sight of blood-stained sanitary pads and used tissues strewn around the foot of their HDB block.
Residents told Lianhe Zaobao that this issue has persisted for months, adding that the soiled materials are believed to have been thrown from a flat at Block 636 Bedok Reservoir Road.

Litter was also seen on the service ledges of several floors.
Resident Chen Xianzhang, 67, said he has repeatedly come across blood-stained sanitary pads and used tissues downstairs in recent months.
