The perennial question of how clean Singapore is has once again come under the spotlight, with the Government last week emphasising the importance of public hygiene in combating the spread of the coronavirus.
The Republic might have a reputation of being a clean city, but a Sunday Times check at five hawker centres islandwide found that the nation still has some way to go in maintaining it.
Many diners are still leaving their dirty dishes and leftovers on the table for workers to clean up after them.
This, even though a number of customers were observed wiping the tables with hand sanitisers and disposable wipes before sitting down for their meals.
Ms Connie Chan, 49, a hawker at the Chinatown Complex Food Centre, said: “Many customers expect a cleaner environment, but it doesn’t always mean they will change their habits.”
On Friday, the multi-ministry taskforce leading Singapore’s battle against the spread of the coronavirus announced the set-up of a new SG Clean Taskforce.
