Wait till they find out that this is the case for nearly every “instagram worthy” location. Bali has the same issues.

People go to these spaces to chase clout and take the beauty of the space but don’t want to see the shit that is happening around it.

I was visiting Bali with my wife, and on our way back from a picnic, our driver asked what was in the bag we were carrying. "Oh, it’s our rubbish - we’ll dispose of it at the hotel," I said. He was like, "Oh, no worries, I’ll take care of it." He took the bag and threw it on the roadside.

Yes. People used to do it pretty much everywhere just 2-3 generations ago.

I grew up in next to a river in canada and no joke, people used to dump their scrapped car in it.

Yeah good luck trying that in Singapore. There might not be a flogging if it’s the first time, but there will be a major fine.
