In response to queries from TODAY, the National Parks Board said on Monday that it was first alerted to a case of illegal dumping of a refrigerator in the land near Clementi Forest last March through the OneService app. “Having cleared the part adjacent to the path from the grass, I realised that it was a refrigerator,” said Mr Semenov,The short-term visit pass holder, who is from Russia and makes YouTube videos of Singapore as a hobby, said that he was upset to see household garbage in the forest.
Mr Semenov recalled that the status of the application changed to “working on it” after several days. He took to social media again to post about the encounter, lamenting in his post that “nothing had been done”.“Everything also sticks out at an acute angle from the thickets to the crowd. I cleared it off the grass as best I could so that it would be visible to those walking along the trail and they would not be injured,” he said in his post.
