CLEARING your tray after a meal could soon become standard behaviour at hawker centres, with the National Environment Agency (NEA) and Singapore Kindness Movement partnering The Straits Times to bring the practice to outdoor eateries.

The Straits Times launched its 'Goodness Gracious Me!' movement last month at five Kopitiam food courts to encourage diners to clear their trays in consideration of the next person. It has since expanded to take in canteens at a school, an industrial estate and a hospital.

Intrigued by its success, the NEA has decided to launch a similar effort at the Zion Road Hawker Centre on Dec 1.
