Stop Trashing the Henderson Wave
It’s a beautiful saturday morning when me and my pals started our regular jog along the famed Southern Ridges.
Up Mount Faber, across Faber Walk and started on the Henderson Wave, the tallest bridge in Singapore. What we saw immediately ruin our mood.
There were lots of garbage left strewn across the entire bridge. Some people have partied on the Henderson Wave last night, and did not clear away their leftovers.
These inconsiderate acts saddens me. Singapore, being reknowned in the world for its cleaniness, have plenty of rubbish bins planted across the island. I’m sure these people could have found a bin within 1km of the site. But they simply didn’t care and left the trash behind, probably thinking that some cleaners will come round and clear up after them.
But before the cleaners could do that, along came the monkeys the next day and help to make the situation worse by throwing them all over the place.
Please be considerate, if you bring food and drinks to the Henderson Wave, do not litter the place. It is a nice environment to exercise in the morning, and for hanging out with friends in the evening. Do not spoil it for the rest of the people enjoying the place.

When the Henderson waves is built it attracts many youngsters groups to have picnics on the bridge. They are not the nature lovers who believe in the green movement. When I first hiked up Mt Faber in the early 1970s we were able to proceed uninterrupted to Telok Blangah Hill as that part of Henderson Road which bisects the Mt faber,was not yet constucted.
