Dear Media Editors, I am writing in as a resident of Toa Payoh Block 86. I have previously feedback to my town council and NPark quite a few times regarding a bird infestation problem caused by people feeding the birds illegally but it seems that no actions were taken to …

On 13 June at about 12:30pm, somebody saw this uncle pushing a wheelbarrow at a traffic light. Later, she saw him using a spade to “take public soils from public space”. One “Andy Tan” shared about this incident in a Facebook post. The post asked, “It’s a whole barrow filled …

My case, blk 505 woodlands dr 14, almost 1 month i make report to NParks, but till now no action taken! The lady continue feeding birds freely without action. NParks just ask Town Council worker to take picture of subject only!

A netizen has complained to NParks about how its early fumigation hours has affected park goers, especially those who go there to exercise.

A netizen who responded to accidents involving falling trees thinks NParks should not blindly enforce the idea of having a garden city if it cannot conduct proper checks on its trees. What do you think?

It was an ICA officer who first raised the alarm, when Mr Yusaini Abdul Rahim, 41, who was working at the Changi Ferry Terminal, saw the crocodile on Monday morning while out on patrol. He contacted the AVA and NParks to inform them about the sighting. He spotted the crocodile again on Wednesday, and took photos and videos of it.

NParks said it has counselled the staff who accused a resident of trying to create trouble when all he did was to give feedback. NParks' Deputy Chief Executive Leong Chee Chiew responded that it has personally apologised to Mr Liw for the inappropriate language and has counselled the staff for her bad attitude. It also assured him that the drains will be fixed soon.

A resident complained to NParks that its tree pruning has damaged drains in his vicinity. NParks denied responsibility and accused him of finding trouble. "if this is the state of our public service, our future in singapore is indeed in a bad shape..."

According to eye-witnesses, Ting I Tsun, 55, who is from Taiwan and has been in Singapore since 17 June to visit her daughter who had just given birth, was attacked by the wild boar at the right side of her calf. She was out walking her dogs at the park when the attack occurred on Friday. The witness also said he saw the wild boar came darting out from between trees, attacked the woman, and disappeared back into the park.

NParks late have kept repeating and reiterating that their tree inspections is all good, and in line with the global standard. Is anyone disputing that? Why must always say they are the best in this, or first in the world in something? Just say and admit that no matter how hard they work in ensuring trees are ok in Singapore, sometimes nature conspires to do something that we cannot prepare for. The death of a woman at Botanic Gardens and the injuries to others in the same incident and the one at Yuan Ching Road are tragedies nobody wanted to happen.
