Have you seen any disgusting rubbish or littering habits around your estate? 🤢
Someone just left an entire toilet bowl below my flat outside the loading/unloading area 🚽🤮
Did they flush at least?? 😂 😂
People throw random shit all the time. Esp bulk items. Quite fascinating to see what households would throw. And someone on my floor doesn't take their bulk stuff down but leaves it at the chute area.
Well it wasn't rubbish nor litter but I did see a corpse who jumped from the block I was at and he landed near the lift landing area...probably minutes before I exited the lift...so yeah.
Very yes in Clementi, those local old birdie and some foreigners. It is a helpless feeling, just like seeing our local students messed up at Beach BBQ pits.
Littering and being inconsiderate to cleaners is red flag in my book. Thanks Michael, very touched by your love for you job!
Right. Shows that they habe no empathy for others
Thanks for producing this series of videos. I feel for this uncle. I hope that people will be more considerate when they are disposing their rubbish. When they dispose their rubbish responsibly, it can make their work safer and less hazardous.
Also hope that the town council can change the green rubbish bin to include more safety features (e.g., stopper, working wheels) to make work safer for these cleaners too.
Thank you to all the cleaners who help to keep Singapore a cleaner country. 🙏🏻 appreciate their hard work and dedication.
Whoever throws soiled sanitary pads anywhere except the bin deserves all the karma they can possibly get.
There will be blood
Where else would you even throw it??? Got public bins (green ones), sanitary bins, just. Throw. There.
One time when I am about to go outside, a toy dropped on my head, good thing its small and not very hard but I know it fell from the upper floors
Put in a plastic bag
Here colonial tongue school ppl enjoy life,soul tongue school ppl hard life
This is extremely educational for all esp. the younger generations. I’m lucky that I do not have to face the sanitary pad or shit like the cleaners. As someone who had worked in an incineration plant, it’s really extremely tough not only for the physical well being but as well as mental. Most incineration had only a handful of local and out of the handful are mostly aging. Most would quit on the first few days.
Though i am a guy,my mom always tell me that sanitary pads should be disposed properly as it contained used blood.
Likewise child diapers should be sealed properly & throw at the correct place.
My mom say that bad spirits may lick those sanitary pads if it not sealed & throw at the correct place.
@a.c so uve seen ALL sorts of rubbish!
She did a great job. Helped and also was very respectful ❤
Thanks for doing this video. Two of my aunts are cleaners and you’re right, just a nod or wave helps.
Thank you cleaners everywhere for keeping our place clean! I have always respected you and will continue to do so.
adeline is such an empathetic host aiyooooo love it sia
I visited Singapore a lot, just like other countries, the locals here also engage in what society perceive as less glamorous jobs, but these type jobs are essential and play a big part in keeping the general community clean and orderly. I always greet estate cleaners whenever I see them even with a simple good morning/evening
Thank you to the cleaners, i honestly feel their pay needs to be way higher for the work they have to do.
Their pay will be higher if every house owners are willing to pay more town council fees.
@@chantalmonique2353 let's not kid ourselves here even by paying more,the town council will just pocket the excess lol
Adeline huge respect to you. You're so polite and respectful as always
Deep respect for all cleaners. They keep Singapore going.
RESPECT to all cleaners in our estates. Thank you for your hard work.
First world cost of living but third world morals. Littering is sadly still so prevalent in our society. It's time for the authorities stop putting up posters to encourage these immorals to behave. Real punitive action should be taken against these people.
Sad to say, the littering has been proven to increase exponentially with the percentage of Cecas active in your area.
Adeline did a great job in this interview. Its an eye opener for youngsters alike Adeline to experience the struggles & filth of what our cleaners face & go through daily maintaining the cleanliness of our estates.
We don't deserve having these individuals serve us, nor the good things we get in life. If we don't even know how to throw soiled sanitary pads in a proper bin, or pick up your own pet's poo, or understand the dangers of high-rise littering, or just simply how to treat a fellow human being properly, then we really don't deserve anything good or beneficial to us in our lives.
My block downstairs have lots of dog feaces.... (new estate btw)
I think that this is a great video! Cleaning is such an important profession in keeping the environment healthy and safe for people. It prevents waste (litter thrown by people) from leaking out into the environment as pollution.
Hope this be shown on CNA so more can learn from it. If we all stay clean, uncle might find a family 1 day ❤
Respect all these people
This video should be screen for all Singaporean and within the estate to see on those inconsiderate person who litter at will and such person should be caught and be punish to do cleaning vice versa.
Don't forget the smokers who keep their families healthy and safe by puffing the second hand carcinogenic smoke into other units and smoking it below the void deck to share their disgust for their own life by sharing it with the while block.
This was such a good video.
Thank you for educating us and I wish Michael the best! He has such a good spirit.
CWO should include estate cleaning
There are, I saw CWO cleaning up Clementi blocks. But silly and lazy habits never go away, esp. the smoker
2:00 Yes if you guys are moving out don’t anyhow just throw ur items!!
People living in Singapore are pampered especially the younger generation who did not go through hard times in the past.
In my country littering still very common and you can see it in daily life also, it is very sad and concerned to see.
As someone who still live in this country here, i just can't help to give big respect to all cleaners and always say thank you to them.
I really respect them. Every day I always make an effort to at least nod or say hi to them when I see them.
I greet them even with a simple good morning/evening comes a long way
this video makes me feel that all of my efforts to clean the empty bottles and recyclables every time i recycle them, even more worthwhile. it is extra steps for me, yes, but knowing that it will be less hardship to the person cleaning it is more important to me.
Good work, Sir.
Cleaning up places from rubbish will accumulate Great Merits! Those who helped to make these cleaners' job easier will also shared the Good Merits , according to the Universal Laws of Cause & Effect that Governed All Birth , Ageing , Sickness & Death!

Karma is such Complex Subject! 🕯🌍🕊
those dog owners also never clear their poops and those feed the cats so much poop along walkways
Yes!! Only after warning sign by town council then situation got better. Mine ia at Punggol so many young families who owe dogs
I like the story the clean is hard work people ❤
WOW! Great job highlighting this that pad was so disgusting.
If ya can’t be bothered to clean up after your dog (especially in a PUBLIC PLACE/CORRIDOR) maybe you shouldn’t have a dog. Or any pet for that matter. 4:51
Those people whom don't throw rubbish into the bin is the same people.who don't clear the tray at hawker center or food court , they have the same mentality
Someone keeps throwing used coffee bag at my block everyday... Poor cleaner needs to clean their shit everyday for them.
Wow now hard to see coffee bags.... my estate coffee shop only provides paper CUP
Their job is not easy, hope people will be more considerate.
What the heck, dog owners need to clean their pets 💩 Don’t have pets if you’re not responsible!
Those irresponsible, inconsiderate and selfish litterbugs must be caught and punished.
I dont think that those who throw sanitary pads are in their right mind, do they?
Lee Bee Wah, we need you
Must be yishun 😂
Nee Soon.😂
Seriously? Throwing soiled sanitary pad out of the window?
Hopefully this wake up ungrateful people who litter and make a mess in public!!!
Really depends on how the Town Council managers supervise the workers and how the PAP MP manage the TC. A former MP cum Mayor collecting hundreds of thousands a year just let the TC manager do as they please despite receiving feedback from residents and witnessed for himself how badly maintained the estate was with pyrohazards of giant burning cages being allowed to be set up literally next to the bedrooms of residents and also void decks were regularly let out as funeral parlours even though the deceased was not even a resident of the block nor even from the area.
Much thanks to the govt its gonna get 10x after July when plastic bag charge kicks in... people who are not willing to pay for bags r gonna just throw food and literally whatever into the chute directly....
What language are they speaking?
Always must be Yishun tskkk! Show us love and be more considerate please.
1st world country, 3rd world people.
i am starting to wonder if that Soiled PAd was staged , where got so zhun 1.
Nee soon area. No nd to justify. Sure legit
Just saying lol this ppl sell electrical stuff n etc n can fetch in 100dollar for mattress n fridge etc as they sell to Malaysia man or garangguni man when they concert the SGD they get to their currency it's arld a pot of gold for them so why feel bad for them? When their pay is decent lol
