Lorry Caught Dumping

Dear SRA Members,

Seputeh residents have shown that we have good community spirit. For that, I am happy and proud of the neighbourliness shown.

Here are pictures of a lorry which was caught in the act of dumping rubbish at the notorious spot along the main road.

Last Friday Oct 23, I was informed by several residents around 5pm that a lorry was dumping rubbish at the main road. In fact, several agitated residents called the police.

I could not come back immediately. By the time I arrived, it was about 2 hours later and getting dark.

SRA President Robert Quah and committee member Wilson Szeto were already at the scene, umbrellas in hand, waiting for DBKL to come.

I could not wait due to pressing personal errands and quickly took a few pictures in the rain.

Uncle Robert told me he had called DBKL after seeing the lorry and he stayed on to ensure the cops would also wait for DBKL to turn up.

Later, I learnt from him that DBKL team turned up after an hour and impounded the lorry.

Key lesson here is the constant vigilance is the key to prevent this from recurring.

Meanwhile, if any of you know the owner of the land there, please email the committee with contact particulars so we can follow up accordinly. It would be good to erect a fence to prevent unauthorised dumping.

Cheers
