Dear Sir,
Uncollected Rubbish and Clogged Drains
I am writing this letter is to attract your attention to the above matter. As the representative of the
community, I am writing to tell you that the 300 odd residents living in Taman Sentosa are extremely
unhappy about the lackadaisical attitude of the local town council towards the uncollected rubbish and
clogged drains in our area.

2. The rubbish in our area has not been collected for more than a week. The rubbish is supposed to
be collected on alternate days but this has not been the case. The town council workers collect the
rubbish according to their own whims and fancies. The uncollected garbage has attracted not only flies
and mosquitoes but also stray dogs which had attacked the residents on several occasions. These dogs
also scatter the rubbish and make the roads dirty and smelly. As a result, residents have to bear the
discomfort of stench from the garbage and risk their health.

3. We are also disappointed with the town council workers for not clearing the clogged drains which
are filled with rubbish. The drains would usually overflow when there is heavy rain and the rubbish
would then flow into the compounds of our houses. Besides, putting up with the unbearable stench
emitted from them, the residents have to spend hours cleaning their compounds of rotten vegetables,
food leftovers and other rubbish.

4. Due to dengue outbreak recently, we are really concerned about the residents’ health especially
the children. Fogging service also was not done according to the schedule. The fogging authority would
only do their job whenever there is a case of dengue. This is dangerous.

5. We have made numerous appeals to the Municipal Council to look into our complaints but to no
avail. We have been putting up with this predicament for more than a week. We hope the health
authorities would do something to check these health hazards.

Thank you.

Yours faithfully,
