SINGAPORE, April 25 — For more than a year, a discarded refrigerator laying in the middle of Clementi Forest has vexed a Russian man with a deep love for nature, who has made it a personal crusade to rid the forest of the unsightly electronic waste.
Several people suggested that he file a report to the authorities on the OneService mobile application. He did as he was told. In response to queries from TODAY, the National Parks Board said on Monday that it was first alerted to a case of illegal dumping of a refrigerator in the land near Clementi Forest last March through the OneService app.
The discarded fridge was removed five days after TODAY first approached the authorities over the delay in clearing the electronic waste. TODAY had reached out to NParks, the Singapore Land Authority , NEA and the Municipal Services Office over the course of last week.Describing how he discovered the fridge after unknowingly walking into it, Semenov, who is in Singapore to look after his six children living here, said he initially saw the leg of “some object sticking out of the dense thickets”.
Shortly after he discovered the fridge, Semenov reported it to the authorities through the OneService app, and included the coordinates of the fridge in his report. Semenov then set up a separate Facebook group in a bid to organise a group of volunteers to remove the fridge from Clementi Forest at the end of April.Last Thursday, Semenov visited the spot to find that the fridge had been moved from its original position to several metres away from the trail.
