A few metres away, a field where senior citizens usually go for their walks is also littered with plastic bags. “The area near the covered basketball court is always filled with rubbish, and it is an unpleasant sight especially during weekends. The youngsters who come to play are mostly outsiders,” Lee said when met at the area recently.

He said workers were not scheduled to clean the complex daily as they were also required to clean other areas.

Tan said the youths who were told off for littering, usually argued or called their parents to confront the RT members.
