They aren't Singaporeans, but they take better care of our country than some of us do. A Japanese family was seen picking up litter in Tiong Bahru on Dec 14, spurring a local to reflect on himself and other Singaporeans. In a post to Facebook group Tiong Bahru Social Page, Alex Chan wrote: «Saw a Japanese family picking up litter along the route to Tiong Bahru Plaza bus stop». «Let's not litter and make Tiong Bahru clean for all,» he said, also thanking the Japanese family.

He believes the family is Japanese as he overheard them conversing in the language while picking up rubbish. «I thought they were just passing by, but I realised they were cleaning the sheltered walkway,» he said. «This is a good opportunity to teach children not to litter, as there is often rubbish and cigarette butts on this stretch of road,» Chan added. According to him, the Japanese children appeared to be about seven to 10 years old. Read more
