Again, as part of my kill boredom activity, i actually wrote a complaint email to the HDB town council after reading an article on Today Online. The article touched on the cleanliness of HDB flats.
Actually, it's been an issue that's been bugging me for a while: the mass of litter that has accumulated on the window ledges outside my HDB flat. Where residents are supposed to hang their clothes out on bamboo poles to dry out at. I just get so irritated by it, cause i am on the 5th floor, and all the rubbish from above kinda gets accumulated on the lower floors like mine. I just feel the conservacy i pay should not just include cleaning of the corridors and lifts, but the window ledges as well. Plus, the window ledges are just outside my kitchen and bedroom window, and it attracts all kinds of pests. And there is no way for me to clear the litter myself unless i sweep them all off onto the ground floor. Which then makes me a litter bug myself. Although i'm guilty to say i have done that several times out of desperation.
So anyway, the point is I wrote the complaint, and i was surprised to actually get a response within a day. This guy Jason replied and told me that he wil ask his contractor cleaners to clear the litter and put up notices to remind residents not to litter. I am surprised that they are taking my email seriously and actually sending people up high rised HDB flats to clean the window ledges. Surprised, but nonetheless, happy that somebody is doing something at last!
