SO is a potential killer litterer

SO just came back from walking Bell. He had just received a letter from town council, stating that their officers had conducted a routine check and found out that some of his potted plants placed on the parapet wall were potential killer litter. Gasp!

The letter also asked him to remove the plants immediately.

The offending plant, which I thought was placed too high on the parapet wall and that it could topple over when the wind blows.

Frankly, SO was not pleased. He said that he dun think the plants placed there are potential killer litter. He also said that some of the neighbours 's objects are more potential killer.

So the bitch said that he is going to call them and complain.

Frankly, I normally dun care what he did with his plants. Eh, I am not the type who is into greenery. I dun even give a second look at all the plants he placed outside the corridor.

Well, what can I say? This is not the first time, he got such a warning letter from town council. The previous time he got a similar letter, his plants were hanging in the ceiling along the corridor.

Yeah....I would make him remove them. The penalties of killer litter are too heavy to bear.
  • If they fail to comply with a written notice to remove objects placed in a dangerous manner. If convicted, they are liable to a maximum fine of $2,000. If they do not remove the object after the conviction, they are liable to a further fine of $100 per day for as long as the offence continues.
  • Residents who are convicted under the Penal Code for an offence relating to throwing of killer litter are liable to a maximum fine of $1,000/- or a maximum jail term of 2 years, or both.
  • HDB may also compulsorily acquire the Home Ownership flat or terminate the tenancy of the rental flat.
Below are some photos taken by SO on what he thought was dangerous killer litter. In fact, he thought that these were even more dangerous than his plants.

The alter was fixed to the metal piece on the wall. The offerings were not. So when the wind blows......

Pots and pots of plants placed dangerously near the parapet wall.

More plants near the parapet wall.

Oh yah, I thought my neighbours' plants looked so ugly! They blocked the footpath, and were simply an eyesore! And they just looked so cluttered! Yucks!

Hmmm.....wondering if all these residents also did received the letter from town council asking them to remove their plants near the wall. Or was SO the only one?

And SO has removed his offending plants but he said he is calling town council cos he wanted to know how different was his situation from the other residents killer litter.
