SINGAPORE - Feeding wild boars came at a high price for 19 people who faced penalties under stricter laws.
Eight of these individuals, aged between 20 and 51, were charged in court on Wednesday (Jan 13) with feeding the native mammals in Lorong Halus.
Four of them pleaded guilty and were each fined $2,500. Two cases were adjourned to Feb 3 and the remaining two intend to plead guilty on Feb 24.
First-time offenders can be fined up to $5,000 and repeat offenders face fines of not more than $10,000 under the Wildlife Act.
The other 11 people will be charged over the next two weeks, said the National Parks Board (NParks).
This is the first time it has taken so many people to court, after stiffer regulations to deter the public from feeding wildlife came into force on June 1 last year.
