BOTR sent us this appeal slipped under the door to his house Aug 17. When he suggested to some dog owners that they could get their dogs to trace the dead dog’s home, they were reluctant to do so for fear of exposing their dogs to any diseases on the site where the carcass was found. BOTR is disturbed by the thought that the dog abuser goes scot-free.

When the train arrived, they crossed over the yellow line even though the train had not come to a complete halt.

Mr Martin Ross spotted this family washing their car at East Coast Parkway B1 public carpark on a Sat (12 Aug) morning, taking up two lots while park users could only shake their heads in despair because of the lack of parking space. He said they were using buckets of water taken from the nearby public toilet, delivered by the father who is not in the picture. He wonders if park authorities should have regular park rangers to educate people on the proper use of park facilities and to put up signs to prevent blatant misuse of park facilities.
Is this an abuse of public facilities? What do you think? »
