Out of Sight and Out of Mind!


Dear Residents,

Are you the type who likes to keep your surroundings clean; you know like having it neat and nice?

Well, it is fair enough to keep ones surrounding clean. By all means, do cut the grass, do trim the plants and the trees, and do throw away unwanted items such as old furniture. Keeping your surrounding, especially around your house clean and neat is a noble virtue. It also keeps potential threats and diseases away such as Dengue.

But wait. What do you do with the rubbish?

Do you put it all in a bag and placed outside your house? If you are one of them who does this then well done! That is the right step as Alam Flora does come and pick up the rubbish periodically.

But do you know within our midst, there are some inconsiderate people? They also like to keep their surrounding clean. They also do as you do.

Except, they would take the rubbish and dispose of it at other neighbour’s front yard or any road shoulder that is out of their sight! This includes furniture, cut trees and unwanted plants. Please take a look at the following pictures taken today at the road shoulders around the playground.

What's the problem? After all, its no longer mine!

Please have some consideration as the rubbish is now sitting in front of your neighbour’s house! That should not be the way. You should leave it in front of your house and let Alam Flora do their job. If you have bulky and big items to throw then notify Alam Flora. They will come and get these big and bulky items off your hands. But treating the road shoulder as a dumping ground is not only irresponsible but totally inconsiderate to your neighbours. This kind of actions should be stopped.

Out of Sight - Out of Mind!

So, dear neighbours. If you see anyone throwing anything where they are not suppose to, please do snap a picture and send it to us. We will publish their ‘deeds’ to show their ‘best’ behaviour for all to see.

Thank you.

11 Trees @ USJ

For years I have been getting rid of my old razor blades by collecting them in an envelope then mailing them to myself but with no postage stamp.

When the mail arrives I am asked for postage but refuse to pay. The mailman has to take the package away.

I hope they dispose of it responsibly.

Woow woow behold, Holy Baloney! I can't imagine if all the guys on this earth were to do it your very "responsible" way; our tax money will go to razor-postal-disposal nightmare.
Thank you for sharing and "educating" the public to turn our Postal Department to Garbage Collection.
Catnip you better check with your guardians or someone elder to find out if you are doing the right thing. Take care!
