Rat Infestation Just Beside Bukit Batok MRT Station.
Re: Amazing sinkie govt deploys many scdf men to cull rats at BB
Rat problem at Bukit Batok largely under control: Authorities
Authorities have said the rat infestation problem at Bukit Batok is largely under control. About 200 rats have been caught so far as the operation to clear out the burrows enters its fifth day.
Bukit Batok's rat infestation problem came to light last week after a video taken by a resident went viral. Five days after the operation to tackle the infestation began, pest controllers believe the problem has now "subsided".
The next phase, which will take place after Christmas, is to monitor and control the situation. This will involve the setting up of infrared motion detectors and the planting of baits. This phase is expected to last another two weeks.
Mr Bernard Chan, the manager of Star Pest Control, said: "To eliminate all of the rats is impossible because there will be roof rats in a forested area. They survive through plants and fruits.
"As long as there is no outside food source, they will not be able to multiply so easily. We can continue to do some frequent monitoring - that means coming by once every two weeks to do a check and see whether there is any migration or growth in the population of rats."
Authorities said they had been aware of the rat problem in the area since late last year and had taken measures to control it. However, they said the issue resurfaced in recent months due to the "continuous indiscriminate feeding of the dogs in the area".
The Housing and Development Board said it did not receive any complaints about the rat problem before the video by 33-year-old simulation system operator Ryan Keith Smith spread online.
Mr David Ong, an MP for Jurong GRC, said: "One of the things we are doing now is that on the community-front, we will be mobilising our community on patrol to do more frequent patrols around this area so that we can engage the dog feeders to not leave food indiscriminately, as well as to work with the National Environment Agency to see how we can raise the level of monitoring and enforcement on food littering."
Pest controllers have said that dog feeders continued to leave food in the area even after the operation began.

So, what measures have they taken to control it since authorities said they had been aware of the rat problem in the area since late last year.
But the problem was posted on Stomp on 27 Mar 2014.

Excerpt from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brown_rat
Brown rats live in large, hierarchical groups, either in burrows or subsurface places, such as sewers and cellars. <span style="background-color: #FFFF00">When food is in short supply, the rats lower in social order are the first to die. If a large fraction of a rat population is exterminated, the remaining rats will increase their reproductive rate, and quickly restore the old population level.</span>

Forget fishball stick, PM Lee, now its the rat infested hill
DECEMBER 22, 2014 BY TERRY XU IN COMMENTARIES · 6 COMMENTS
Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong in his National Day Rally speech 2014, brought up a story of a fishball stick being left along the walkway at Bukit Gombak MRT Station and had not been cleared after two days,
The reason for the stick for not being cleared after two days as given by Mr Lee was,
Mr Lee explained that as the cleaners engaged by each of these agencies have different cleaning schedules, “the fishball stick was on the roadside, and the roadside is only cleared every two days”.
He went further to use this incident to show how the Government still has some way to go in getting different agencies to work more closely together, especially when responsibilities are being split.
A Municipal Services Office (MSO) under the Ministry of National Development was announced at the rally to be set up, which will coordinate several government agencies and “single-mindedly focus on service delivery”.
The agencies are the Land Transport Authority (LTA), National Environmental Agency (NEA), National Parks (NParks), national water agency Public Utilities Board (PUB), the Housing and Development Board (HDB), the Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority of Singapore (AVA) and the police. However town councils were not mentioned in the MSO framework.
When news of the rat infestation at Bukit Batok broke out, public relations manager for Jurong Town Council, Amanda Lee Yan Jun wrote to Today on 20 December and said,
“We refer to the letter “Bukit Batok rat problem started with the dogs” (Dec 19). Jurong Town Council wishes to clarify that the land is State land, managed by the Housing and Development Board (HDB) as an agent for the Singapore Land Authority.
The joint response by the HDB, the National Environment Agency, the Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority and Jurong Town Council informed readers that steps are being taken to control the rat infestation. (“Extermination of rats at Bukit Batok to take up to a week”; Dec 19)”
For a better illustration of the scenario indicated by Jurong Town Council, we can use the same graphical representation by Mr Lee in his rally speech as seen below.
Areas of responsibility
Despite the Jurong Town Council being less than 200 metres away from the incident site, the town council had problems noticing a rat colony of up to hundreds exist.
And now the town council is saying that it has nothing to do with the rat issue as that place where the rats dwell is taken care by HDB. Nevermind the fact that it is less than 50 metres from land under the responsibility of the town council.
So now with the new rat infestation incident happening at Bukit Batok, Mr Lee probably would have no problem finding another story to illustrate the issue of inter-agency work at his next national day rally speech in 2015.
And he probably might consider having town councils being part of the Municipal Services Office framework after this incident.

The reason for the stick for not being cleared after two days as given by Mr Lee was,
“On the left of the walkway is a slope, (which is overseen by) the NEA (National Environment Agency); in the middle is a park connector, under NParks (National Parks Board); on the right is a pavement next to the road, under the LTA (Land Transport Authority),”
Mr Lee explained that as the cleaners engaged by each of these agencies have different cleaning schedules, “the fishball stick was on the roadside, and the roadside is only cleared every two days”.

Look who decided to take the train from Bishan MRT station
Posted on 23 December 2014 | 1,625 views | 6 comments
There was an unusual sight to behold at Bishan MRT two days ago (Dec 21) as a rat entered the station via the gantry in the afternoon.
Stomper BishanKing said that his brother spotted the rat.
He said:
“After the Bukit Batok rat infestation incident, my brother happened to see another rat at Bishan MRT.
“Is Singapore under the attack of rats, area by area?”
The rat had ran from the gantry into the station, which can be seen in the gallery down below.

This is a result of sinkies not following the rules and consuming food on the trains. The rules are there to be followed to the letter. When you break the rules, you're not screwing authority you're just screwing yourselves.

This rat created history.. He must have been the first rat to have ever passed through an MRT station gantry..
Yeah, right. Let's compare with fuck-ups elsewhere and be a grateful gong kia.
So boss, look on the bright side, at least in NZ no one (including stray dogs) get blame for fuck-ups that they didn't do.
Authorities - Rats under control at Bt Batok
SINGAPORE: Authorities have said the rat infestation problem at Bukit Batok is largely under control. About 200 rats have been caught so far as the operation to clear out the burrows enters its fifth day.

The next phase, which will take place after Christmas, is to monitor and control the situation. This will involve the setting up of infrared motion detectors and the planting of baits. This phase is expected to last another two weeks.

"As long as there is no outside food source, they will not be able to multiply so easily. We can continue to do some frequent monitoring - that means coming by once every two weeks to do a check and see whether there is any migration or growth in the population of rats."
