Bishan East food rescue staff asks people not to chope queue spots with items

Who say Singaporean can only be kiasu? They can be creative too! Hahahahaha

How to beat a beeline Q like this?

It is so simple, just use these!

On Friday (23 Aug), the Facebook page for the Bishan community group, Bishan East Zone 1 Residents’ Network (RN), posted about an incident of people chope-ing queue spots with items at a food rescue event instead of physically queueing.

The event took place at the Bishan East Zone 1 Green Hub, located at Block 112 Bishan Street 12.

Food rescues are community events where unwanted food collected by volunteers is redistributed to residents. This serves to both reduce food wastage and give food to those who need it.

According to their Facebook page, the Bishan East Zone 1 RN food rescue events are bring-your-own-bag and first-come-first-served. No reservations were allowed.

The 23 Aug food rescue event had been a success, with “overwhelming support” from residents, many of whom got up early to queue for the event.

“We appreciate the early bird zeal in queuing up for restocks in good orderliness & neighbourliness,” the Facebook post said.

However, in the same Facebook post, the Bishan East Zone 1 Green Hub Food Rescue Team also noted that people were chope-ing spaces in the queue like they were at a hawker centre.

To illustrate what had happened, they posted two photos. The first one showed a line of people queuing physically; this post was accompanied by a smiley face emoji sticker.

On the other hand, second photo showed a queue of inanimate objects, mostly plastic bags, held down by stones from the nearby community garden.

This one featured a shocked emoji sticker instead.

The team acknowledged that the chope-ing was creative but prohibited.

“All items found lying on the floor will be deemed as litter and cleared or confiscated,” the post warned.

Coincidentally, the queue also started right next to a pillar with a “no littering” sign plastered on it.
