SINGAPORE: About 450 volunteers from Nee Soon South helped to clean up Sentosa's Siloso Beach on Sunday (Feb 8).
Jointly organised by Nee Soon South and Sentosa Development Corporation, the event attracted students, residents and grassroot leaders.
It is aimed at encouraging Singaporeans to take responsibility over the cleanliness of their surroundings.
"We would like to get more of such people together and we hope that concerted effort will be part of a culture, part of our habit, and together we can keep Singapore clean without a big army of cleaners,” said Nee Soon GRC MP Lee Bee Wah.
"Currently Singapore is clean because it is cleaned by cleaners. We hope that Singapore will be clean because of the good habits of all of us."
