Navigation Primary Navigation Home Singapore Asia Pacific World Business Entertainment Sports Technology Top Stories Most Popular Secondary Navigation Government Education Search Search: Number of litter bugs issued CWO up nine—fold in past two years Channel NewsAsia - Monday, December 15 SINGAPORE: The number of litterbugs caught has been on the rise over the last two years. As of end November, over 1,050 offenders have been issued with Corrective Work Orders (CWO) so far this year. If not for Sunday morning’s downpour, littering offenders would’ve had to serve out their Corrective Work Orders amid the full glare of the media. They’d all been caught littering more than once. But since the rain didn’t stop, their CWO session had to be postponed. Since 2006, the number of litterbugs caught has gone up significantly. In the first 11 months of this year alone, 30,200 tickets for littering were issued. This is in part due to stepped—up enforcement by the National Environment Agency. In the last two years, it’s increased time spent on enforcement by 3.5 times to 322 man hours per day. Consequently, the number of CWOs meted out over the same period has also gone up nine—fold to 1,052 as of last month. In 2006, only 122 offenders were issued with CWOs. Tai Ji Choong, head, Operations, Environmental Health Department, National Environment Agency, said: "CWO has up till now still been effective because the number of repeat offenders has remained low and fairly consistent over the years. In fact, for the last five years, repeat offenders have not exceeded three per cent." Over 60 per cent of offenders are young people below the age of 30. S$37 million of taxpayers’ money is spent each year cleaning the streets. — CNA/vm Email Story IM Story Printable View Blog This Recommend this article Average (0 votes) Sign in to recommend this article » Most Recommended Stories » Related Articles: Singapore Defence Minister Teo outlines strategies for dealing with security challengesChannel NewsAsia - 2 hours 16 minutes ago 60 parents turn up for second parental matchmaking sessionChannel NewsAsia - 2 hours 22 minutes ago Number of litter bugs issued CWO up nine—fold in past two yearsChannel NewsAsia - Monday, December 15 PM Lee in Doha to sign milestone FTA between S’pore and GCC countriesChannel NewsAsia - Monday, December 15 Tampines flea market helps homemakers and the needy earn incomeChannel NewsAsia - Monday, December 15 Enlarge Photo Number of litter bugs issued CWO up nine—fold in past two years Most Popular – Singapore Viewed Actress Jennifer Aniston appears naked in GQ magazine US carmakers mull options as White House vows aid Fortis bank, saved from collapse, again on shaky ground Queen Elizabeth II reins in extravagance as credit crunch grips Russia crowned Miss World 2008 in African event View Complete List » Search: Home Singapore Asia Pacific World Business Entertainment Sports Technology Top Stories Most Popular
