Singapore Turns Noise, Air, and Land Pollution Rules into Law

 

PUBLICATION: Business Times (Singapore)

DATE: February 12, 1999

SECTION: Singapore At Home & Abroad; Pg. 2

BYLINE: Marissa Chew

DATELINE: Singapore, Asia

 

The Business Times (Singapore) reports the Singapore Parliament yesterday passed a new bill which gives the Ministry of the Environment (ENV) power to enforce many existing noise, air and ground pollution controls.

 

According to the article, Minister for the Environment Yeo Cheow Tong assured the House yesterday that the bill was a compilation of parts of existing acts and that new clauses in the bill were already administrative requirements. "So what we have done is to now formalize this by converting those administrative requirements into law .... The enactment of this bill will not in any way change the administration of pollution control in Singapore," he said.

 

The ENV will have the power to stop work at noisy construction sites and work places if these sites do not comply with notices to control the noise. Yeo Cheow Tong said his ministry would consider adding monitoring noise levels as part of the control officer's duties. The bill will also allow ENV to control air pollution from a broad range of sources, including smoky vehicles and industrial and commercial premises. In addition, the new bill empowers the environment minister to make regulations to require companies to clean up any contamination in their land before they are allowed to change the use of the land. The firms will have to bear the costs of the clean-up.

road work just beside a residential housing, and it only start 6pm and end 6am the next morning.

 

imagine the moment they start the generator and the machinery @ 3am in the morning ...

 

My suggestion :

 

1. Call the Police immediately cos it is your right to sleep in peace. If they dun care, keep reporting to Police or you can make your way down to Police station and look for the Duty Officer to lodge a formal complain.

 

2. Next day, call your Town council (most likely they wont care)

 

3. Go down to the construction site, take photo, date & time, company name. Lodge a complain to your MP, tell him to address the issue (it is his job to address any resident issue cos he is getting at least S$ 15,000 monthly allowance, it is his job)

 

4. best of all, take video or photo and post it onto Stomp. Stomp will ask the relevant depts for answers.
