Ikea staff left mess outside flat
I RECENTLY made an arrangement with Ikea to deliver and assemble some bookshelves at my flat. As the workers arrived before our appointment time and I was not at home, they started the assembly outside my gate. I was quite impressed with their efficiency.

However, I was dismayed when the workers left cardboard and styrofoam litter strewn all over the corridor in front of my flat. I had expected that they would have cleared the mess they had created when they left but that did not happen. Only the bigger cardboards were removed.

This reflects badly on the corporate image Ikea is trying to portray. In an increasingly environmentally-conscious society, Ikea should demonstrate its commitment to keeping Singapore clean and green.
