Enforce cleanliness in coffee shop toilets
We need more immediate action from the authorities on the issue of dirty coffee shop toilets. I propose that a central body be set up to handle complaints.
A warning followed by a fine for coffee shop owners may be needed to ensure that standards are kept. Perhaps more resources are needed to look into this problem so that complaints are handled in timely fashion.
Coffee shop owners should recognise and accept that keeping the toilets of their establishments clean is a moral and civic duty. The cost will be a fraction of that of the shop, some of which have changed hands for millions. The owners owe it to the heartlanders who patronise their coffee shops.

No need for hardcopy notifications on vouchers
The news of the availability of the latest tranche of CDC vouchers was blasted all over social media, news, print as well as by personal notification through SMS and Whatsapp.
It is almost impossible not to be aware of it. That being the case, is it still necessary to send hardcopy notifications? Wouldn’t it be better to opt for not receiving it in the first place?
Eliminating the hard copy will help our nation’s Go Green effort. And this applies not only to the CDC vouchers but also to other Singapore government notifications, which sometimes come in colour and in four languages too.
