I am Anita Fam, the chairperson of the Marriage Central Advisory Board. I take personal responsibility for our environmental insensitivity to the mass release of balloons at Real Love Works@Marina Barrage last Saturday.

To be honest, this issue did not occur to us when the planning of this event was first initiated as we focused on the positive symbolism of ‘love is in the air’ – of couples renewing their marriage vows and releasing their promises/blessing into the air.

Thank you for surfacing this issue. For me, it has been a learning experience. Since this matter was brought to my knowledge, I have done a lot of reading up on this issue. I will from hereon be one of those who will spread the message of its environmental impact from hereon.

Chillycraps: Ya lor. I have a very sad childhood. My mum don’t buy me balloons when I’m young. Hahahaha…..

Kidding. But I just find it amusing that people don’t see it as littering/pollutions just because it goes up instead of down.

Cyen: I hope not lor.
