SINGAPORE: A drain outside Funan Shopping Mall was found clogged with discarded cigarette butts, even as authorities stepped up enforcement against littering in the area. The post claimed that smokers regularly gather there and often throw used cigarette butts onto the ground or directly into the drain. When Shin Min visited the site, more than 10 people were seen smoking in the open-air passageway, while over 50 cigarette butts were scattered across the ground. Between January and June this year, NEA carried out 330 enforcement actions in the area for related offences. Discarded cigarette butts can also pose a fire risk.
