Singapore

Abandoned car tyres, pails, Styrofoam boxes and a television were among the items collected by 79 youths in a coastal clean-up at Pulau Ubin beach on Sunday. Organised by Outward Bound Singapore (OBS), in collaboration with International Coastal Cleanup Singapore, the event provided a platform for past OBS participants to serve the community and gain deeper appreciation for their environment. Asyraf Ramli, a student, said: 'I was very shocked when I found the TV. I expected to see only plastic bottles and plastic bags. It is an eye-opener to see the beaches in Pulau Ubin littered with such trash because there are no cleaners here, unlike in East Coast Park.'
