SINGAPORE – A large crocodile spotted on a beach in Marina East Drive on Tuesday (Oct 10) will be put to sleep due to concerns over public safety.

In response to queries, Mr How Choon Beng, director of wildlife management and outreach at the National Parks Board (NParks), said the nearly 3m-long saltwater croc was trapped and removed from East Coast Park, a popular seaside spot.

Mr How said: “In view of this, the captured crocodile will be humanely put down to safeguard public safety.”

Yes, just pop a few into its mouth to let it sleep and rest in peace.

So who's the unlucky bastard who has to pop those pills into the crocodile's mouth?

The problem is, where does it belong? If it is a native of Sungei Buloh river, then can put back.

But many saltwater crocs came all the way from Bolehland. If they are M'sian crocs, then we have a problem as they become an invasive species. If you drop it back to Msia waters, it will still swim back to S'pore coastline again, LOL.

From the location on the map, its likely to come all the way from JB side.
