Outside a wake along Gloucester Road, opposite Pek Kio Community Centre, as many as 70 electronic funeral wreaths were seen displayed across the side of the road — exceeding the 10 allowed under National Environment Agency (NEA) guidelines.In a Facebook post uploaded by Minister of State for Trade and Industry and National Development Alvin Tan on Sunday (Nov 9), he said that several Pek Kio and Farrer Park residents had shared concerns about the number of wreaths.He noted that the placement of the wreaths also obstructed the lines of sight for motorists and pedestrians.«Parents and students of neighbouring primary and pre-schools had near misses because of the obstruction,» said Tan, who is an MP for Tanjong Pagar GRC.He added that several wreaths had also fallen onto the road, right in front of a zebra crossing, obstructing traffic and creating a road hazard.
