The Ministry of Sustainable Development and the Environment decided to revise the environmental public health (amendment) decree, and the Presumption Clause was added to the high -rise parabolic cases of the HDB house.The new regulations are expected to be implemented on July 1 this year.
According to data provided by the Environment Bureau, before 2019, the official received an average of 16,000 feedback on high -rise parabolic each year.It has increased to 2000 in 2019, from about 35,000 in 2020, and more than 320,000 in 2021. In recent years, it has increased very quickly.However, there are not many leaflets that are actually issued each year, with an average of about 1500.
In the past few years, the increase in high -rise parabolic incidents may have a certain relationship with the crown disease epidemic and people's homes office, but it has deteriorated from the beginning of the epidemic. Therefore, it is indeed necessary to increase the law of the law.At present, the owner's responsibility is limited to the official information of the residents in the unit when the incident is provided to the official, and it does not bear other responsibilities, which makes it difficult to proof.
A principles of criminal law are Presumption of Innocence, that is, the prosecution must bear the responsibility of prove the defendant's crime, and the defendant lived up to the obligation to prove his guilty.The above new regulations are the opposite. Although rare, it is not the first case.For example, there are similar clauses in the abuse of drugs, indicating that the defendant knows that he has carried drugs unless it can prove that he did not know beforehand.Proven innocent responsibility lies in the defendant.Another relatively similar example is to run a red light or drove at a speed. Once the electric eye is photographed, the registered owner will be assumed to be the driver unless he can prove that he is innocent.
It is time -consuming and laborious to determine the identity of the high -rise parabolic and prove its crime.Fu Haiyan, the Minister of Sustainable Development and Environment, pointed out that investigating high -rise parabolic cases requires a lot of resources and time, which includes collecting materials to deploy camera positions and identify the identity of the offenders.Starting from the behavior of taking the cigarette butt of high -rise buildings, the Environment Bureau generally needs 10 weeks to six months to take law enforcement operations.Many times, the camera cannot take high -rise parabolic behaviors. This is mainly because the lens is only aimed at the external walls to avoid being accused of infringing personal privacy.With the assistance of camera technology, although law enforcement officers can be easier to determine which unit is thrown from, it is often impossible to confirm the identity of the offenders, that is, those who live in the same house are easily sheltered or pushed each other.
This significantly reduces law enforcement efficiency.Given that high -rise parabolics constitute a great security threat to Singapore's densely group housing living environment, and also constitute hidden environmental hygiene hazards, curb the bad behavior of a small number of illegal people, suppress the trend of high -rise parabolic deterioration, improve the efficiency of law enforcement and the deterrent of law.EssenceWith the new regulations, the situation will be flipped, and the residents of the same house must supervise and restrict each other.
According to the Environmental Bureau, 54%of the cases of high -rise parabolic behaviors banned over the past four years are related to the cigarette butt.Among them, about 95%of the case was photographed by the official camera deployed, but it was not easy to refer to the parabolic.The cigarettes smoke at home and leave the cigarette butt downstairs. It is very irresponsible, because putting the cigarette butau in the ashtray in the home is just a hand -to -hand.Suspiece of environmental hygiene.The new regulations should be able to play a greater obscure role and reduce the time and manpower spent in law enforcement.
In addition to adding the above assumptions, the existing relevant punishment may also be necessary to review it.Article 336 to 338 of the Criminal Code stipulates that the punishment for high -rise parabolic persons, including negligence and reckless behaviors, endangers the safety of others, causing others to be injured or seriously injured.Whether enough is worth reviewing.
