SINGAPORE: Two children are under police investigation for their alleged involvement in a killer litter incident after objects, including a small bicycle, were thrown over the parapet of a Housing Board (HDB) block in Ang Mo Kio.
In a video circulating on social media on Wednesday (Oct 11), a boy in a grey T-shirt can be seen on closed-circuit television (CCTV) throwing an object over the parapet, while a girl dressed in a pink blouse watches on.
