MP Fadli Fawzi cleans up litter in Aljunied with residents and volunteers on 9 May

Yesterday (9 May), Aljunied Member of Parliament (MP) Fadli Fawzi and the residents of two HDB blocks performed a collective litter clean-up of their buildings.

As an appreciation for the regular cleaners, Mr Fadli presented them with tokens.

Residents and volunteers clean HDB corridors, void decks and grass patches

On 9 May, not-for-profit organisation STRIDY helped coordinate a Blockbusters Community Cleaning Day at Blocks 533 and 536 in Kaki Bukit.

At 8.30am, residents of the two blocks picked up tools and began cleaning up their blocks.

They were joined by STRIDY facilitators, Workers’ Party (WP) volunteers, and MP Fadli Fawzi.

People of all ages scoured the void decks and surrounding grass patches, picking up any trash they could find.

The residents and Mr Fadli also swept their blocks’ corridors and stairwells, extending greetings to neighbours.

“It was heartening to meet other residents who came out to greet us and showed us that they have done their part around their units,” the Aljunied GRC Facebook page wrote.

Regular cleaners have high approval rates

After the community clean-up, Mr Fadli then publicly presented tokens to the regular cleaners of both blocks.

Block 533 had a local cleaner, while Block 536 had a migrant cleaner from Bangladesh.

Both earned the approval of many in their respective blocks and even joined in with the others during the litter cleaning.

A local resident praised the event as “quite fun” and felt positively about the estate’s cleanliness.
