Inderjit Singh hears Lower Peirce Reservoir residents' concerns about animals in their neighbourhood
Published on Jun 24, 2012
About 40 people living near the Lower Peirce Reservoir met their Member of Parliament Inderjit Singh on Saturday to discuss how to curb the wild boar population in their neighbourhood.And a majority at the closed-door session - about 95 per cent - voted in favour of culling the animals.
Mr Singh, an MP for Ang Mo Kio GRC, said he arranged the dialogue after hearing from many residents who had spotted the boars in their neighbourhood.
His constituents have also become more concerned after one of the animals attacked two people in Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park last Friday.
A five-year-old boy was flung into the air when the boar charged at him, and a Cisco officer was also struck down by the same animal.
