How does one explain to their kid the presence of soiled sanitary pads strewn across the foot of their residential block?
"It's not just clear discharge, it's red," one frustrated mother told CNA. "I've got kids who ask me 'Mum, what's that?'"
Since the circuit breaker period last year, residents of Punggol Sapphire have been plagued by a menstruating litterbug.
Speaking with CNA, a resident, who only wished to be known as Sue, said she had seen the pads lying on a grass patch and on top of drain covers at Block 268C.
She continued, "Then when I was working from home, I was putting up some blinds and I saw some (of the pads) stuck on other neighbours' window ledges."
