Driver cites convenience as reason for illegal dumping

The National Environment Agency (NEA) publicly released a statement earlier today (28 May) about the conclusion of the court case.

They received public feedback on 24 July 2025 about the illegal dumping of a large volume of dismantled office furniture and partitions along Joo Yee Road.

NEA’s investigations revealed that the waste originated from reinstatement works at a vacated office in Genting Lane.

On 6 July 2025, driver Naidu Manish Kumar had dumped the office waste on the road out of convenience, by his own admission.

Naidu should have instead discarded the furniture at a licensed general waste disposal facility.

He pleaded guilty to one charge for the dumping of waste from a vehicle in a public waste. As a result, he received a fine of S$8,000.
