Here’s a concise summary of the article:  

A man visiting Singapore expressed astonishment after spotting a Mercedes-Benz-branded garbage truck operated by Sembcorp, humorously remarking that Singapore “must be rich” to use luxury vehicles for waste disposal. He shared a video on XiaohongShu showing the truck, noting its recognizable Mercedes logo and the driver’s friendly thumbs-up. The post sparked online discussion, with some users praising Singapore’s infrastructure (attributing it to the country’s small size and wealth) and others critiquing the truck’s bus-like design.  

The article clarifies that Mercedes-Benz Econic waste trucks have been used in Singapore since 2019. Sembcorp initially tested one vehicle for its safety features, such as a low cabin design improving driver visibility, and later acquired three more. These trucks primarily serve high-traffic areas like the city center and Sentosa Island. While the man speculated that locals avoid garbage-collection jobs (leaving them to migrant workers), the piece emphasizes the trucks’ practical purpose and safety advantages rather than luxury. Mixed reactions online included sarcastic remarks (e.g., a Malaysian netizen quipping it “still smells the same”).

Opinion:

Never knew garbage truck was Mercedes. Kudos to prioritizing safety first.
