“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.\u00a0<\/p>\n
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.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Acting on a tip-off, a Lianhe Zaobao reporter visited the HDB estate on Monday (July 13) evening and found a discarded sanitary napkin in one of the drains, and several used tissues scattered nearby.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Litter was also seen on the service ledges of several floors.<\/p>\n
Resident Chen Xianzhang, 67, said he has repeatedly come across blood-stained sanitary pads and used tissues downstairs in recent months.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“If it were a tissue, it could have accidentally been blown away by the wind. But sanitary napkins are personal items, so it’s obvious that they were thrown there deliberately,” added Chen.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He condemned the behaviour as “disgusting” and said it was damaging the estate’s environment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Another resident, 70-year-old Zhang, recalled seeing tissues drifting down from above and speculated they were tossed around by children at play.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A third resident, Chen, 75, shared she had occasionally spotted leftover food and bread crumbs on the ground floor, leading her to suspect that someone had been feeding pigeons.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Most of the residents interviewed said they did not report the incident to the town council, as they were uncertain of the culprit’s identity.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Some residents reportedly mentioned that the area is cleaned daily and that the litter is typically cleared by the following morning.<\/p>\n
In response to media enquiries, the Aljunied-Hougang Town Council said the authorities are investigating the high-rise littering incidents.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The town council added that it has not yet identified the specific unit involved, Lianhe Zaobao reported.\u00a0<\/p>\n
However, the town council has issued advisory notices reminding residents to properly dispose of household waste and sanitary products.<\/p>\n
AsiaOne has contacted the Aljunied-Hougang Town Council and National Environment Agency for additional information.\u00a0<\/p>\n
