Dear Student,
The Disciplinary Committee is aware that many students are still smoking within and around the campus despite repeated warnings and notices and that this is causing a serious problem. Smoking on any Educational Institution is against the law and there is a mandatory fine of $200 to $300/- from the National Environment Agency(NEA).
Smoking is proven to be detrimental to the health of both smokers and non-smokers. It also brings disrepute to Republic Polytechnic in the eyes of the public and has led to a littering problem. The Disciplinary Committee has instructed on the strict enforcement of No Smoking Rules.
Allow me to reiterate the NO SMOKING RULES once again-
· No smoking in and around Republic Polytechnic premises (including but not limited to Admiralty Park and any roads, sidewalks, bus stops and overhead bridges around the Polytechnic).
- Strictly No Smoking in Republic Polytechnic Premises (All buildings, car parks, facilities, etc)
- No Smoking Along Riverside Road (including walkways/pavement on both sides of the road, Traffic light junction, pedestrian waiting and crossing area/Traffic light junction, island/divider, etc )
- No Smoking Along Woodlands Ave 9 and Woodlands Drive 91 (including walkways/pavement on both sides of the road, Traffic light junction, pedestrian waiting and crossing area/Traffic light junction, island/divider, etc )
- No Smoking on the Overhead Bridge along Woodlands Ave 9
- No Smoking at all Bus Stop (Under NEA rulings)No Smoking within Admiralty Park
--> Student caught smoking are to provide truthful identity information when requested. Polytechnic Student Card/ NRIC is to be shown upon request. Student found in attempt to provide false particulars or to run/walk away when caught will be dealt with more severely.
