Dear Sir,
Uncollected Rubbish and Clogged Drains
I am writing this letter is to attract your attention
to the above title. As the representative of the
community, I am calling to tell you that the 300
odd residents living in Taman Sentosa are
extremely unhappy about the lackadaisical attitude
of the local town council towards the uncollected
rubbish and clogged drains in our area.
2.
The rubbish in our area has not been
collected for more than a week. The rubbish is
supposed to be collected on alternate days but this
has not been the case. The town council workers

collect the rubbish according to their own whims

and fancies. The uncollected garbage has attracted
not only flies and mosquitoes but also wild dogs
which had attacked the residents on several
occasions. These stray animals also scatter the
rubbish and make the roads dirty and smelly. As a
result, residents have to bear the discomfort of
stench from the garbage and risk their health.
3.
We are also disappointed with the town
council workers for not clearing the clogged drains
which are filled with rubbish. The drains would
usually overflow when there is heavy rain and the
rubbish would then flow into the compounds of our
houses. Besides, putting up with the unbearable
stench emitted from them, the residents have to
spend hours cleaning their compounds of rotten
vegetables, food leftovers and other rubbish.
4.
Due to dengue outbreak recently, we are
really concerned about the residents health
especially the children. Fogging service also was
not done accordingly to the schedule. The fogging
authority only did their job whenever a case of
dengue aroused. They even fogging the
neighbourhood late at night that caused us to
leave the residents. They need to consider the

residents who have babies and also to those who

need to wake up early in the morning for work. The
fogging also caused the people to have breathing
problem when we were not told the exact time of
fogging.
5.
We have made numerous appeals to the
Municipal Council to look into our complaints but to
no avail. We have been putting up with this
predicament for more than a week. We hope the
health authorities would do something to check
these health hazards.
Thank you.
Yours faithfully,
Raju
