No butts in Singapore litter drive

Singapore police are issuing smokers with tin boxes to stop them dropping cigarette butts in the street.

The box comes with a S$200 (£63) fine. The measure is the latest in a series of initiatives to wipe out litter in the ultra-tidy city-state.

As part of the drive, students from 50 primary schools will form roving "anti-littering squads" to clean up their schools, the Straits Times reported.

Litterbugs can be forced to do community service, or face up to two months in jail or a fine of up to S$5,000 (£1,575). Some have also been made to attend lectures on the harm they cause to the environment.
