I think most of the time, culprits who throw litter intentionally out the window (killer or otherwise like a tissue) won't do it standing at the ledge in full view of the others, unless they want to be caught. <BR/><BR/>That way, throwing litter from a bit further inside the flat means the trajectory would take the litter a few meters outward. It won't be a straight drop. Even if it was a straight drop, peering upward immediately when stepping outside would give me time to hopefully dive back into the safety of the void deck if I see something plunging down. At least better than not looking at all. <BR/><BR/>I always walk ahead of the family and look upward to ensure it is all clear before letting them step outside. After a while, the others get the habit of checking when they have to cross the danger zone too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13303109.post-10843285050535611122009-01-28T12:15:00.000+08:002009-01-28T12:15:00.000+08:00It's sad to hear about innocent people getting inj...It's sad to hear about innocent people getting injured by such inconsiderate acts.

However, when the movement is the other way, i.e. moving out from the void deck to the open area, it is going to be difficult to execute this safety precaution. Wherever possible and practical, we should avoid walking or parking in areas near a block with open windows above.Victorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10339178864363140977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13303109.post-42741514649125544722009-01-27T17:15:00.000+08:002009-01-27T17:15:00.000+08:00It is good to condition oneself and your loved one...It is good to condition oneself and your loved ones to take a peek up before moving quickly into the void deck area or out of the void deck area to the carpark etc. <BR/>That 10-15 meters from the foot of the block outwards is like a danger zone for such litter and you all should minimize the amount of time being exposed there. Gosh, it's like army training last time, 6 seconds to find a cover. :-) <BR/><BR/>Ok, new year, not auspicious to discuss this further liao.

For the latter, at least the perpetrator probably didn't do it intentionally. But then again, the former is likely to have the mitigating factor of being mad.<BR/><BR/>Chun See - HDB flats are more vulnerable than landed homes in terms of exposure to killer litter. (I wish I could live in one.) Mad people can't be educated by campaigns and publicity one lah.Victorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10339178864363140977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13303109.post-6473788148955850522009-01-27T10:33:00.000+08:002009-01-27T10:33:00.000+08:00So sad.
