Public satisfaction with cleanliness in Singapore fell slightly to 91 percent, according to the latest Public Cleanliness Satisfaction Survey conducted by Singapore Management University. While general approval of cleanliness across public spaces remains consistently high, the overall rating saw a minor decline compared to previous years. The study highlighted public toilets—particularly those in coffeeshops and hawker centres—as a persistent area of concern, alongside issues related to food waste management and a continued reliance on professional cleaning staff rather than personal responsibility.
- Overall satisfaction with public cleanliness dipped to 91 percent, reflecting a slight drop from earlier survey figures.
- Public restrooms in coffeeshops and hawker centres continued to score among the lowest in satisfaction.
- Transport hubs, residential neighbourhoods, and public parks maintained generally high cleanliness ratings.
- The findings underscored an ongoing reliance on cleaning workers to keep public spaces clean rather than proactive civic habits.

Just move around Pasir Ris, Tampines hdb estates & Loyang industrial areas lots of litters everywhere just to name a few. Even MRT stations, platforms & trains the littering has increased..!
The result of overcrowding, government squeeze too many people into our little red dot, resulting in deterioration in every aspects of life…………..when resources are scarce people start to only care about themselves.
The government party own self said Singapore clean and beautiful, but just look around and rubbish and rats and all pests everywhere.
If you get the chance do come by Hougang Avenue 5. Walk around blocks 358 to 363. I live in this vicinity so I can vouch for the conditions they’re in, every single day. Just a personal opinion no offense. I think it boils down to demography. Birds of a feather flock together’.. It’s true.,.🙄
I lived in Tampines. This is expected. I have been standing at my corridor for the past few years, I saw this Bangala sweeper just disappeared. The corridor is never swept,
gradually the lift landings are never swept and then the whole void decks suffered the same fate. They just cleared the rubbish now and then. When they cleared the
rubbish from the rubbish chute,they just swept it a few times with the mop and
go to the next one and do the same. This is a big contrast a few years back when
you can see the Bangala sweeper every days. Now you don't see them. They have
become extinct like the dinosaurs.
You go by the law of averages. You bring in more people, you also bring in more rubbish.
You bring in average people, you bring in average mentality.
Right now govt see this like an exam score. 90+% is still A*. To them it's resounding success. Just wait till we go below 90%. But low crime doesn't mean no crime. Same analogy. Less litter doesn't mean no litter.
even my india foreign neighbour dumps their waste food outside the house for a day or 2 making everyone hard to walk on the corridor. Another throwing boxes surrounding the rubbish chute almost everyday.
