A video of birds pecking away at leftover food at Teban Gardens Market and Food Centre has sparked some netizens to cry foul at the tray-return policy implemented at certain food outlets. TikTok user Toh Hong Chua uploaded the video on Saturday (Mar 4), showing...
Said the netizen: “Send this video to NEA making it compulsory for consumers to return trays.”“This happens in many places. The cleaners not doing their work,” said one user.
A few others noted how such incidents are commonplace in several hawker centres, and voiced concerns about hygiene. One user claimed that returning trays to stations without cleaners on hand risks the “spread of germ and bacterial transmission through birds”.“I would like to make it clear that I took the video not to complain or [express unhappiness] with anyone.”
He also said that he wished people in the comments would not blame cleaners, as he saw them “busy cleaning” while he was having his breakfast. He added: “[Teban Gardens Market and Food Centre] is one of the cleanest hawker centres I've patronised. I will continue to patronise [it].”
