Normally, people do not return the plates as they think it would take a lot of time. However, in the poster, it is stated that it would not take long. This would let people think that they would not need to take too much time cleaning the tables. The sentence "It's simple!" in the poster would also let readers understand that keeping plates is not a fuss. ]]> 2021-06-01 23:37:39 UTC https://padlet.com/quek_kuan_hiong_benjamin1_1/19r4d66y7z8e2yum/wish/1577854431 https://padlet.com/quek_kuan_hiong_benjamin1_1/19r4d66y7z8e2yum/wish/1577859784 -Yes, not only would it lessen the work and effort needed for the cleaners, but they also let the future customers feel comfortable in the centre. ]]> 2021-06-01 23:41:16 UTC https://padlet.com/quek_kuan_hiong_benjamin1_1/19r4d66y7z8e2yum/wish/1577859784 https://padlet.com/quek_kuan_hiong_benjamin1_1/19r4d66y7z8e2yum/wish/1577861509 b) They could set up a prize system in the centre. For example, if they returned their plates, they can get a free goodie bag or join in a lucky draw. ]]> 2021-06-01 23:42:23 UTC https://padlet.com/quek_kuan_hiong_benjamin1_1/19r4d66y7z8e2yum/wish/1577861509 https://padlet.com/quek_kuan_hiong_benjamin1_1/19r4d66y7z8e2yum/wish/1577864764 -I would firstly clean the table as there would be some food crumbs left by me. Then, I would return the plates. Since we are in the COVID-19 situation now, I would also sanitize out table and chairs before we leave for the next customers. ]]> 2021-06-01 23:44:12 UTC https://padlet.com/quek_kuan_hiong_benjamin1_1/19r4d66y7z8e2yum/wish/1577864764 https://padlet.com/quek_kuan_hiong_benjamin1_1/19r4d66y7z8e2yum/wish/1577868874 c) I do not think they have an easy job. Firstly, they need to clean the hawker floor frequently since new people come in very often. Secondly, as there are some thoughtless customers who do not return their plates, they need to help them return their plates. Even though they do the jobs most people rejects, they do not get paid much despite the efforts they put in to their work. ]]> 2021-06-01 23:47:09 UTC https://padlet.com/quek_kuan_hiong_benjamin1_1/19r4d66y7z8e2yum/wish/1577868874 https://padlet.com/quek_kuan_hiong_benjamin1_1/19r4d66y7z8e2yum/wish/1577874662 - Hawker centres are a place where many people go in and out. So, we need to keep it clean for not only the next customers' comfort, but also for our safety. Dirty places attract viruses, so if our hawker centres were dirty, we may get sick. To prevent all those from happening, we must keep our hawker centres clean. ]]> 2021-06-01 23:50:54 UTC https://padlet.com/quek_kuan_hiong_benjamin1_1/19r4d66y7z8e2yum/wish/1577874662 https://padlet.com/quek_kuan_hiong_benjamin1_1/19r4d66y7z8e2yum/wish/1584295798 a) I think it would encourage people to keep the hawker centres clean. Majority of the diners at hawker centres do not return their trays, clear their tables after eating and keep hawker centres clean as they have this mindset that it is the cleaners job. I think that some reasons why diners do not return their trays, clear their tables after eating and keep hawker centres clean are because they are in a rush, they are lazy and they think that it is below their dignity for example they are a manager of a company so they think that doing so will sort of make them look like a cleaner. In the poster it is mentioned that ''It doesn't take long!'' so even if we are in a rush we can return their trays, clear their tables after eating and keep hawker centres clean. At most it would take only 2-3 minutes to do that. Returning their trays, clearing their tables after eating and keeping hawker centres clean does not make you look bad it shows that you are considerate and willing to help lessen the burden of the cleaners. Public dining places are set in an open environment with high footfall, accessible to all members of the public, including the young and the elderly. Keeping these places clean is our act of consideration for other users, and it also reduces the risk of disease transmission especially with the Covid-19 pandemic going on.]]> 2021-06-04 02:45:13 UTC https://padlet.com/quek_kuan_hiong_benjamin1_1/19r4d66y7z8e2yum/wish/1584295798 https://padlet.com/quek_kuan_hiong_benjamin1_1/19r4d66y7z8e2yum/wish/1584346593 - Yes, I think that it is a good idea to get people to return their trays. Returning one's tray and dirty crockery will reduce cleaners' workload and they having to make frequent rounds to clean tables. This will also help to improve overall cleanliness, provide cleaners with a more sanitary and safe working environment, and facilitate the faster turnover of tables during peak mealtimes. Keeping these places clean is our act of consideration for other users, and it also reduces the risk of disease transmission especially with the Covid-19 pandemic going on.]]> 2021-06-04 03:11:03 UTC https://padlet.com/quek_kuan_hiong_benjamin1_1/19r4d66y7z8e2yum/wish/1584346593 https://padlet.com/quek_kuan_hiong_benjamin1_1/19r4d66y7z8e2yum/wish/1584368704 b) In order to keep the hawker centres clean, it will be mandatory for diners to return their trays and clear their table litter from June 1, the National Environment Agency said on Friday, May 14. Table litter includes used tissues, wet wipes, straws, canned drinks, plastic bottles and food remnants. During the three months, they will only be advised to follow the rule. From Sept 1, enforcement will be taken against those who do not comply with advice to clean up after themselves in public dining places.
First-time offenders will be given a written warning. Second-time offenders will face a $300 composition fine, and subsequent offenders may face court fines, which can go up to $2,000 for the first conviction. The Singapore Food Agency will also work with NEA to roll out enforcement progressively at coffee shops and food courts in the fourth quarter of this year.

Other than this rule, I think that it would be advisable to give out a 10- cent coupon whenever someone comes to return their tray. The 10-cent coupon can be used to purchase food at the hawker centres.]]> 2021-06-04 03:23:13 UTC https://padlet.com/quek_kuan_hiong_benjamin1_1/19r4d66y7z8e2yum/wish/1584368704 https://padlet.com/quek_kuan_hiong_benjamin1_1/19r4d66y7z8e2yum/wish/1584393436 - I would be cautious while eating my food and try not to spill any food onto the table or onto the ground. After my meal, I will check if there is any food that I accidentally spilt. If I have spilt some food like rice or noodles, I will clean it up with my spoon and scrape it onto my plate. If I have spilt some gravy or soup then I will use a piece of tissue to clean it up. Due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic and also to be considerate to the next diner, I will disinfect my table and chair by using either a wet wipe or a piece of tissue with some hand sanitizer. Then I will go to the tray-return station and return my tray. ]]> 2021-06-04 03:37:08 UTC https://padlet.com/quek_kuan_hiong_benjamin1_1/19r4d66y7z8e2yum/wish/1584393436 https://padlet.com/quek_kuan_hiong_benjamin1_1/19r4d66y7z8e2yum/wish/1584420953 Hawker centre cleaners have to clean non-stop for a few hours as a result, they will experience pain in their legs. Sometimes, when there are big messes left on tables, they have to take a longer time to clean those messes although they try to be fast. Some diners will be unhappy as they feel as paying customers they should not have to return their trays. They think that if they do that then cleaners will be out of their jobs. Sometimes they will be very rude to the cleaners. Thus, they will wait for the cleaners to clean up on their behalf. But the truth is that even if cleaners do not go from table to table to clear the trays of food,  they still need to clear the tables and mop the floors. If diners return their own trays, then it will lighten the cleaners workload a little. Hawker cleaners in Singapore are mostly elderly folks, who come from underprivileged backgrounds, while working long and hard hours. There can also be a lack of consideration shown by patrons who do not help keep the hawker centres clean.]]> 2021-06-04 03:54:36 UTC https://padlet.com/quek_kuan_hiong_benjamin1_1/19r4d66y7z8e2yum/wish/1584420953 https://padlet.com/quek_kuan_hiong_benjamin1_1/19r4d66y7z8e2yum/wish/1584445109 2021-06-04 04:12:21 UTC https://padlet.com/quek_kuan_hiong_benjamin1_1/19r4d66y7z8e2yum/wish/1584445109 https://padlet.com/quek_kuan_hiong_benjamin1_1/19r4d66y7z8e2yum/wish/1584452787 Hawker centres are special places for family eat-outs, friendly gatherings and relaxing spaces for community bonding over the comfort food we love. We need to keep hawker centres clean not only for the next person going to sit on the table and chair but we need to keep hawker centres clean for everyone's benefit, especially during this Covid-19 pandemic. Viruses and bacteria can be spread easily and we do not want hawker centres to be a place where Covid-19 transmission occurs.

Some would notice the poster and follow it. It is because some lazy and think that the shop owners have no other work than to serve them.

Yes.I think the sentences on the poster are encouraging others to clean their tables as no one would like to eat in a dirty environment. Besides, it only takes 2-3 minutes,so even if you are in a rush,you can still return your trays.I believe that even if we do these kind of simple acts of generosity and kindness,we are playing our part in keeping Singapore safe and hygienic,especially in this Covid-19 pandemic.]]> 2021-06-08 02:45:34 UTC https://padlet.com/quek_kuan_hiong_benjamin1_1/19r4d66y7z8e2yum/wish/1591695584 https://padlet.com/quek_kuan_hiong_benjamin1_1/19r4d66y7z8e2yum/wish/1591722053 Sadhana 

Yes.When we keep our trays,we are showing kindness and consideration to other patrons,customers and cleaners.We are also being responsible as to help stop the spread of bacteria and viruses,like  the Covid-19 pandemic going on.We need to clean up after ourselves,no matter what.Even if you are someone that is important  or rich,you should not treat others like your servants.By doing this,you are lightening the cleaners' workload,so,in other words,you are doing a favour for them.]]> 2021-06-08 02:57:53 UTC https://padlet.com/quek_kuan_hiong_benjamin1_1/19r4d66y7z8e2yum/wish/1591722053 https://padlet.com/quek_kuan_hiong_benjamin1_1/19r4d66y7z8e2yum/wish/1591729687 Sadhana

No.They have to do a lot of work.Sweeping & mopping the floors,clearing tables and more!By the time they are done and go on to another area to clean, the area that they just cleaned will be even dirtier!And because of this,they may get leg pain, and what is even worse, most of the cleaners in Singapore are the elderly who have a bad background.

Most people nowadays are quite ignorant and just a single poster on a wall will not catch their attention, meaning that most people will still leave their trays on the table, thinking that the cleaners will clean up after them.

When cleaners clean up our mess, they become tired as they have a huge workload, and besides it is not good to rely on cleaners as sometimes after somebody leaves a tray on the table, a new person may come in and have to clear the table so just so that they can eat, so by leaving your tray on the table, it won't only bother the cleaners, but probably the next person eating as well.

Firstly, the poster only provides a very brief reason why we should do as stated. It is not very persuasive to me and i do not think that it will convince people. Secondly, it does not catch the attention of people. Despite the usage of bold letters and images, i still feel that it will not be noticed at all. Thirdly, it is not properly decorated and will not stand out. To conclude, i think that putting up this poster does not help in encouraging people to keep the hawker centre clean, as most would probably ignore or not notice it.]]> 2021-06-10 07:22:40 UTC https://padlet.com/quek_kuan_hiong_benjamin1_1/19r4d66y7z8e2yum/wish/1597952516 zhangxinyue00651_1 https://padlet.com/quek_kuan_hiong_benjamin1_1/19r4d66y7z8e2yum/wish/1597976396 Yes. Returning our trays and used crockery to tray return stations will help to promote better hygiene and cleanliness in hawker centres. Cleaners will also be able to better focus on table-cleaning and this will allow for a faster turn-around of tables. Also, during the COVID-19 pandemic, returning our trays and keeping the table clean can also prevent the possibility of virus spreading in hawker centres. It also reduces the number of pests such as cockroaches in the hawker centre, creating a cleaner environment for patrons to dine in.]]> 2021-06-10 07:35:52 UTC https://padlet.com/quek_kuan_hiong_benjamin1_1/19r4d66y7z8e2yum/wish/1597976396 zhangxinyue00651_1 https://padlet.com/quek_kuan_hiong_benjamin1_1/19r4d66y7z8e2yum/wish/1597982802 b) Firstly, laws and rules should be implemented to stop inconsiderate people when, for example, they litter. I believe that with strict regulations, less people would act inconsiderately. Secondly,  i suggest implying an award system to further prompt people to keep hawker centres clean. For example, coupons can be given to those who diligently return their trays after dining. Point systems can also bee made available, so that each time people return their tray, they can accumulate points which can then be used to participate in lucky draws or redeem items. To summarise, i believe that with these ways of encouraging people to keep hawker centres clean, more patrons will start act considerately and play their part in keeping hawker centres clean.]]> 2021-06-10 07:39:37 UTC https://padlet.com/quek_kuan_hiong_benjamin1_1/19r4d66y7z8e2yum/wish/1597982802 https://padlet.com/quek_kuan_hiong_benjamin1_1/19r4d66y7z8e2yum/wish/1597994464 No, I do not think that the poster would encourage people to keep the hawker centres clean. Most of the people would not even notice the poster and even if they do, they would most likely pay no attention to it. In my opinion, its not much about the poster but about the people. If the people are not motivated to keep the hawker centres clean, there is nothing that can be done.]]> 2021-06-10 07:46:24 UTC https://padlet.com/quek_kuan_hiong_benjamin1_1/19r4d66y7z8e2yum/wish/1597994464 zhangxinyue00651_1 https://padlet.com/quek_kuan_hiong_benjamin1_1/19r4d66y7z8e2yum/wish/1598007901 when eating, i will try not to dirty the table. i will also return my tray after eating and make sure i properly wipe down my table (and chair sometimes). Since the pandemic is still going on, i feel that it is rather important to maintain the cleanliness of the hawker centre.]]> 2021-06-10 07:54:29 UTC https://padlet.com/quek_kuan_hiong_benjamin1_1/19r4d66y7z8e2yum/wish/1598007901 https://padlet.com/quek_kuan_hiong_benjamin1_1/19r4d66y7z8e2yum/wish/1598020731 Yes, I think it is a good idea to get people to return their trays. Usually, people would not return their trays with a mentality that returning their trays is not their problem and there are cleaners to do it for them. However, returning trays help to boost the importance of hygiene and is a way of taking on a greater sense of responsibility for the spaces they use. Furthermore, it also reduces the workload for the cleaners.]]> 2021-06-10 08:02:44 UTC https://padlet.com/quek_kuan_hiong_benjamin1_1/19r4d66y7z8e2yum/wish/1598020731 zhangxinyue00651_1 https://padlet.com/quek_kuan_hiong_benjamin1_1/19r4d66y7z8e2yum/wish/1598023615 No. They have to work for long hours, cleaning after people and washing dishes. They will have to stand all day and walk around the whole area to collect trays and wipe tables. Moreover, they are mostly elderlies who might come from families with poor financial backgrounds, or have no children to care for them. Despite the hard-work and effort they put in, they do not get paid a lot. sometimes, they would also have to endure the nasty attitude from some customers. for example, i encountered a situation where a cleaner accidentally dripped some sauce on a patron's clothings, which let to the cleaner getting scolded in front of all the diners there. I have also witnessed cases where cleaners gets bumped by customers, sending the clean plates that they just washed flying everywhere, but ended up getting punished instead. So, i think that it is very important for us to keep the hawker centre clean, so that the cleaners will not have so much to do.]]> 2021-06-10 08:04:38 UTC https://padlet.com/quek_kuan_hiong_benjamin1_1/19r4d66y7z8e2yum/wish/1598023615 https://padlet.com/quek_kuan_hiong_benjamin1_1/19r4d66y7z8e2yum/wish/1598029025 I have seen some hawker centres using visual and audio reminders encouraging customers to clear their own trays. Another way, could be having a tray returning system that gives diners reward points if they return their trays. Pointing out that they have not returned their trays due to their irresponsible behaviour might also work for some. However, despite our best efforts, some people will ignore them. In that case, the only recourse is to adopt strict measures and if needed, fines, to stop people from leaving their trays on the table.]]> 2021-06-10 08:08:16 UTC https://padlet.com/quek_kuan_hiong_benjamin1_1/19r4d66y7z8e2yum/wish/1598029025 zhangxinyue00651_1 https://padlet.com/quek_kuan_hiong_benjamin1_1/19r4d66y7z8e2yum/wish/1598047539 I think it is important to keep the hawker centres clean, as firstly, it is our responsibility to maintain the cleanliness of the area we dine in. We should also show our consideration to the next diner, providing them with a clean and safe place to dine. Secondly, it reduces the number of pests in our environment. If we litter all over or leave food remains on tables, the chances of cockroaches and ants attacking our environment will be very high. Animals that might contain some disease, like rats, might increase in population size too, if we continue creating a dirty environment for them to enjoy in.Thirdly, if we do not keep the hawker centre clean, cleaners will have more work to do, which might lead to lesser tables being available for dining, since it will take a longer time for cleaners to clean tables up for the next person. During pandemic periods, we should also maintain the cleanliness of the hawker centre if we do not want it to be a place where transmission occurs.]]> 2021-06-10 08:20:49 UTC https://padlet.com/quek_kuan_hiong_benjamin1_1/19r4d66y7z8e2yum/wish/1598047539 https://padlet.com/quek_kuan_hiong_benjamin1_1/19r4d66y7z8e2yum/wish/1598065759 I will clean up after myself after I finish my meal. I will return my trays and plates and also clear litter like tissues, straws, and canned drinks. I will check briefly if I have dropped anything on the floor and pick it up. In any case, returning trays and picking up litter only makes hawker centres more clean and hygienic. Keeping tables clean shows consideration for the next diner. We should practice cleaning every time we have a meal in the hawker centre. ]]> 2021-06-10 08:33:00 UTC https://padlet.com/quek_kuan_hiong_benjamin1_1/19r4d66y7z8e2yum/wish/1598065759 https://padlet.com/quek_kuan_hiong_benjamin1_1/19r4d66y7z8e2yum/wish/1598117745 No, I do not think cleaners have an easy job. Cleaners have many duties and responsibilities. They have to go around cleaning spills, broken glass and other messes as quickly as possible so the customers get tables to sit at. They work for long hours just cleaning up for others. On top of that, their salary is usually low. This means that they have to work extremely hard to make a living. I have witnessed impatient diners shouting rudely at cleaners, scolding them for being slow in their cleaning, just because they need the table but the cleaners are still cleaning them.]]> 2021-06-10 09:06:23 UTC https://padlet.com/quek_kuan_hiong_benjamin1_1/19r4d66y7z8e2yum/wish/1598117745 https://padlet.com/quek_kuan_hiong_benjamin1_1/19r4d66y7z8e2yum/wish/1598138172 Though its more convenient, it makes a cleaner's job easier while keeping the table clean for the next diner. Hawker centre is a public place, open to everyone. Thus, it is our responsibility to keep it clean and show consideration for the next diners so people look forward to coming to the hawker centres.
In conclusion, I think everyone should play their part in keeping the hawker centre clean and being gracious and considerate towards both cleaners and other diners.]]> 2021-06-10 09:23:05 UTC https://padlet.com/quek_kuan_hiong_benjamin1_1/19r4d66y7z8e2yum/wish/1598138172 https://padlet.com/quek_kuan_hiong_benjamin1_1/19r4d66y7z8e2yum/wish/1598403808 Yes it could encourage people to keep the hawker centres clean so that it would make people practice more of cleaning the tables up after eating their meal.    Cleaning the tables would help the janitors to make      their job even easier.Cleaning the tables also helps to increase hygiene purposes and it doesn’t even take much of our time.]]> 2021-06-10 12:40:06 UTC https://padlet.com/quek_kuan_hiong_benjamin1_1/19r4d66y7z8e2yum/wish/1598403808 https://padlet.com/quek_kuan_hiong_benjamin1_1/19r4d66y7z8e2yum/wish/1598443746 Yes it is a good idea to get people to return their trays after eating because it shows courtesy for the next person to use the tables.
