According to the Environmental Public Health Act, Environmental Public Health (Public Cleansing) Regulations:

“No person shall urinate or defecate in or upon any street, arcade, vacant land, river, canal, ditch, drain or watercourse or in any place to which the public has access except in any sanitary convenience provided for such purpose.”

The law on public health has been strictly enforced in Singapore through the years, and it is important for the authorities to do so, given how small the island is and how compact it has become.
Such enforcements have resulted in Singapore having a reputation as one of the cleanest cities in the world. Indeed, those old enough will remember Singapore being touted – and recognised – as a garden city, with clean streets and top public hygiene standards.
However, in recent times numerous incidents of people urinating and defecating in public – including at void decks, inside trains, in elevators – are causing alarm, and raising questions of whether laws protecting public health need to be relooked or enforced even more strictly.
On Thursday, 13 August, website The Real Singapore reported a lady apparently relieving herself in public beside a MRT station in Buona Vista. It is unclear if she was urinating or defecating. (Picture above.)
After she was done, she could be seen wiping herself.

Her behaviour has caused an uproar online, with many slamming her for her anti-social act.
But hers is just one of many incidents in recent times. (Please see pictures below.)
When Singapore was starting out as an independent, sovereign nation, the government embarked on numerous public awareness campaigns to stomp out such public nuisance, including littering and spitting.
The government even made it a punishable offence to “expel mucous from the nose upon or onto any street or upon or onto the floor or other part of a public service vehicle, a place of public resort or any place to which the public has access.”
That law still stands, by the way.
The government had also gone the length to install sensors in elevators of HDB blocks to deter urinating, even though some still find it hard to resist relieving themselves there.
Several weeks ago, for example, the Tanjong Pagar Town Council put out the following poster of a woman urinating in an elevator, to urge the public not to do what the lady in the poster had done.

Perhaps the authorities, besides taking a stronger stance against such behaviour, should also start conducting public campaigns again to raise awareness of the threats which such anti-social behaviour presents to public health.
The penalties for contravening the Environmental Public Health Act are as follows:
Any person who contravenes any provision of these Regulations shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable on conviction —

(a) for a first offence, to a fine not exceeding $1,000 and to a further fine not exceeding $100 for every day or part thereof during which the offence continues after conviction;
(b) for a second offence, to a fine not exceeding $2,000 and to a further fine not exceeding $200 for every day or part thereof during which the offence continues after conviction; and
(c) for a third or subsequent offence, to a fine not exceeding $5,000 and to a further fine not exceeding $500 for every day or part thereof during which the offence continues after conviction.

拿下武氏庄刷新我国纪录 杨佳明晋级世羽女单八强

我国羽球小将杨佳敏昨日(22日)成功击败越南选手武氏庄,成为新加坡首名晋级世界羽毛球锦标赛女单八强的女子单打球员。 这名20岁的女球员昨天在一场持续一个多小时的比赛中,以21比15,14比21,21比16的成绩,击败在世界排名第74位的27岁武氏庄。她表示这一成就让她“高兴和兴奋不已,还要努力,争取走得更远”。 次局开始时,杨佳敏以1比3落后,但是在追成4平后,比赛就脱离其掌控。她也在比赛中申请一个短时医疗暂停。“我一直感觉背部有些不舒服,每次赛前都尽量把身体调整好,全力以赴。第二局开始时,我速度比较慢,对手控制多一些,自己没能反控,还跟着对手的节奏,让她慢慢变得更稳定”。 然而,在最后一场赛事时,武氏庄的球碰网落地,杨佳敏也松一口气地双膝跪地,紧闭双眼和紧握双拳,对夺下胜利的一刻感到激动不已。 “我感到很宽慰,因为我决心要赢得比赛。” “我已经专注于比赛,并且尽力做好自己能做的事情。” 在之前,杨佳敏在日前的瑞士巴塞尔羽毛球世界锦标赛中,成功击败世界排名第一的山口茜。 目前在世界排名第32位的杨佳敏,将在下轮比赛对垒泰国的拉差诺·因达农(Ratchanok Intanon)。因达农在之前的比赛中,以18比21,23比21和21比10拿下了印度尼西亚的格蕾戈丽亚·玛丽斯卡·东宗(Gregoria Mariska Tunjung)。 杨佳敏今年首次在海得拉巴羽毛球公开赛(Hyderabad…

日F35战机坠毁 我国防部:采购前先确保安全

本月9日,日本航空自卫队一架全新F-35A战机,在日本青森县外海失事坠毁。 针对《今日报》的询问,上述事故会否影响我国添购F35战机的决定,对此国防部发言人重申,新加坡武装部队会先购置四架F35战机,再考量是否再增购其余的八架。 国防部表示,会对战机的能力和合适程度进行全面评估,确保F35战机符合部队需求,且可安全运作。 虽然在日本的事故,乃是全球首宗F35战机在海外坠毁的案例,不过,根据防卫新闻报导,在去年9月,美军的一架F35B战机也曾在南卡罗莱纳州坠毁,坠机原因仍在调查中。 至于日本防卫厅则暂停了三泽基地所有F35战机的飞行直至另行通知。目前,则倾全力搜救下落不明的40岁飞行员和查明事故肇因。 日本内阁在去年12月,通过《防卫计划大纲》和《中期防卫力整备计划》,刚决定大量采购F-35A及衍生机型F-35B战机,总采购量高达147架,包括42架F-35B和105架F-35A。 恐影响日防卫政策 不过随着坠机事故发生,分析指可能影响日本的防卫政策。 F35A被定位为“日本防卫战略关键”,事故战机也是日本国内企业参与制造的首架机体。2017年6月,才在日本爱知县三菱重工出厂。 根据美国政府问责局(GAO)的报告,截至去年1月,在F35战机上发现966项技术问题,其中111项属于可能威胁安全性能的关键问题,以及855项可能妨碍任务。 拥有匿踪性能的F35战机是由美、日、英、意大利等九国共同开发。 我国拟先添购四架F35…
