释义

名词

对乱抛垃圾的人（垃圾虫）进行强制性的劳动改造。

DEFINITION

Noun

A penalty meted out to littering offenders (litterbugs) which requires them to go through mandatory clean-up work.

由来
  • 垃圾虫劳改于1992年11月1日开始实施。过去乱抛垃圾的人只需罚款，后来另加强制性的劳动。
  • 劳改者在卫生监督员的监督下，须穿着印有“Corrective Work Order”文字的背心在社区内清理垃圾，目的是提高垃圾虫对于乱抛垃圾后果的意识。
  • 1993年，第一批劳改者在公园与沙滩等公共场所清理垃圾。垃圾虫劳改的范围后来也扩大到组屋区。
  • 除了罚款（最高新币5,000元），垃圾虫还必须进行三至12小时的劳改，时长视情况的轻重而定。
ETYMOLOGY
  • The Corrective Work Order (CWO) was introduced on 1 November 1992; prior to this, littering offenders only had to pay a fine.
  • Under the supervision of a health inspector, offenders wear a vest printed with the words “Corrective Work Order” while cleaning up the neighbourhood. The objective is to make them understand the consequences of littering.
  • In 1993, the first batch of offenders cleaned up litter in public places such as parks and beaches. The cleaning areas for CWO were later extended to housing estates.
  • Offenders are required to perform 3–12 hours of CWO depending on the severity of their offence, on top of paying a fine of up to S$5,000.
