Singer Alisher Karimov urges Kazakhs to stop spitting in public in call for civic respect
On January 6, 2026, Kazakh singer Alisher Karimov used Instagram to urge people to stop spitting in public, calling the habit disrespectful to the country and harmful to public hygiene.
This was reported by the Infohub.kz news agency.
What he said
Karimov, 40, said he regularly witnesses spitting in streets and leisure areas and cannot understand why the practice persists. He described it as a failure to value one’s surroundings, noting, “This is failing to value your own country and community.” He added that everyday behavior shapes the shared environment and called for personal responsibility to break the habit.
Public response
The post quickly drew supportive comments from social media users, many echoing that cleanliness is a personal duty and urging a shared commitment to basic public etiquette.
Why it matters
Clean, orderly public spaces are a hallmark of urban culture, and discouraging spitting helps reduce the spread of germs. Advocates say sustained change starts with individual example, consistent messaging, and community norms that reinforce respect for shared spaces.
