Officers from the Animal Concerns Research and Education Society (Acres) were alerted on their 24-hour wildlife rescue hotline after a female resident at Yishun hung a mynah on a laundry pole stand outside her flat to teach the bird a lesson for entering her kitchen. While describing the incident, in a Facebook post Acres added a video which showed that the mynah dangling upside down by one of its legs which was tied with a string. As of now, the 18-second footage has received over 39000 views and more than 100 shares on Facebook.

Should have killed the bird before hanging it. No movement = no kaypoh animal rights activist.

Is Yishun jinxed - or merely misunderstood?

SINGAPORE: Yishun has developed a reputation for bad news – home to mall stabbings, brothel raids, civilians trying to attack policemen with stun guns, as well as cat killers, among other incidents.
So much so that it became a meme, with YouTube spoof videos and a hot topic on which to sound off. "Build a wall around Yishun," says one meme, while one Twitter account has been set up dedicated to weird happenings there.
But does the town deserve this reputation?
Current affairs programme Talking Point investigated, and found that Yishun might not be the hotbed of crime many may think it is. There are other neighbourhoods with a higher ratio of preventable crimes, specifically snatch theft, robbery, housebreaking, theft of motor vehicle and outrage of modesty.
In 2015, Orchard’s crime rate was 11.7 percentage points higher than Yishun’s. And out of Singapore’s 28 estates, Yishun ranked 13th, behind the likes of Changi, Geylang, Rochor and Marine Parade.
Institute of Policy Studies senior research fellow Leong Chan-Hoong, who studies neighbourhood profiles in Singapore, has an explanation for why Yishun is perceived as a place with a high crime rate, belying the national statistics.
“Yishun has one of the lower national income (profiles) compared to other housing estates. And in general, people tend to perceive lower-income neighbourhoods as associated with higher crime rates, for example,” he said.
“A place like Marine Parade has a lot of landed properties and condominiums, a lot of well-to-do residents, but at the same time, it also has quite a number of rental units. But the whole estate in general gives the impression that it’s a reasonably well-to-do neighbourhood.”
THE DEVIL’S RING
In contrast, the negative perception of Yishun has been a trending topic for some time now. There is even a blog dedicated to the weird happenings in the town.
Blogger Lhu Wen Kai, who has been compiling news articles of the unfortunate events that have happened in his estate for the past 10 years, agrees that every town in Singapore has its fair share of bizarre incidents.
But he is amazed at the “frightening consistency” of such incidents in Yishun.
His research for his blog The Yishun Dream includes using Google Maps to plot the locations of those events, and he found that most of them occurred within the area enclosed by Yishun Ring Road, which he nicknamed The Devil’s Ring.
“There was this case of a bank executive who tried to rob a bank with a toy pistol, and he got cold feet in the end,” he cited.
And there was another case where a man tried to burgle a home, and the home happened to be undergoing renovation, and he got caught. So (Yishun) is so jinxed that even robbers can’t commit the crime.
He had started his blog mostly to practise web design, but with the narrative of Yishun as a “cursed town” – in his words – gaining traction at the time, his blog began to garner more and more reactions.
CAT ABUSE CASES
Of late, the impression is that Yishun is full of cat abusers, judging by the 41 media reports on cat abuse cases there in the last five years, far more than in any other estate.
However, the Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority says that of the 18 per cent of alleged cat cruelty cases in Yishun between 2015 and last month (out of 451 cases nationwide), only 5 per cent - or four cases - were actual cruelty cases.
Most of the other cases were the result of accidents or attacks by stray dogs.

Cat Welfare Society executive director Laura Ann Meranda believes that the current perception of Yishun may have stemmed from cat volunteers in the area being “very gung-ho” about fighting abuse.
“When a case is actually reported by the town council, or even by any residents, the first thing is (the volunteers) swiftly come in to report the case and then they go to social media asking for help,” she said.
While this may reinforce the negative image of Yishun, she hopes the volunteers continue to give voice to animal rights. She added: “It’s only fair that they still come forward.”
There is now a standard operating procedure to ensure that cat carcasses are not disposed of until the authorities can conduct a proper on-site investigation, shared Member of Parliament (Nee Soon) and animal rights advocate Louis Ng.
When he became a MP for the constituency in 2015, he realised that there had been a spate of cat killings for years, and what was needed was to “bring all these cases to the forefront” to raise awareness.
So did we create a hype? Yes. Was it intentional? Yes as well... It was important in terms of addressing this issue and really addressing the root cause.
The number of cases have dropped in the last two years, he noted.

MAKING YISHUN GREAT AGAIN
Whether there has been bad publicity, extensive social media coverage or preconceived notions, much of Yishun’s reputation has also been a made-up phenomenon.
Filmmaker Mohd Ridhwan Mohd Yunos, a Yishunite since birth and the creator of the video Yishun Resident Evil, a spoof of a video game about a deadly virus and zombies, views the send-ups of the town as just entertainment.
“So I don’t really get affected by all these comments about the negative parts of Yishun,” he said.
There are others, however, who hope to counter the negative headlines of the past. The Make Yishun Great Again hashtag started during United States President Donald Trump’s campaign last year – a takeoff of his promise to Make America Great Again.
One team of individuals even put together hundreds of “care packages” of food and drinks in June and delivered them to an entire block, to soften Yishun’s image.
The Yiishun care package distributed by residents like Dawn Lim.
Each package came with this note: “Hello neighbour, in the light of all the Yishun news that has been making headlines, a small team of individuals passionate about making good vibes decided to come together to surprise a whole block overnight …”
Ms Dawn Lim did not think Yishun deserved to have a bad reputation, so she and her friends came up with this idea. It soon sparked the media coverage they wanted.
She said: “There's a lot to be done, but this was a great first step to make Yishun great again.”

Why Yishun is the most terrifying place to live in Singapore
Ryan Ong

Yishun seems to keep popping up in the news for all the wrong reasons



Yishun seems to keep popping up in the news for all the wrong reasons
Every country has one: that spot where weird things keep happening, and every day is a season of the Twilight Zone. In the United States, it’s Florida. In Australia, it’s everywhere outside a city. In Singapore, it’s Yishun. Here’s why Yishun is so exciting and terrifying (along with some rationalisations).
What strange things have happened in Yishun?
Some of the things that you find in Yishun are:

  • Cat killings
  • Cat killing (singular)
  • People with stun guns
  • Rat problems
  • A drug syndicate
  • Someone who wants your children
  • Numerous murders and suicides
And many, many more. But in case you’ve forgotten, here’s a rundown of those main ones:
  1. Cat killings
There have been a spate of cat killings in Yishun, with two suspects when we last heard. The total number of cat murders is estimated to be at around 19, although the initial claims were 28 (it has since been found that some of the deaths were natural or accidental).
Cats have been slit open, bludgeoned, thrown off high places, and so forth. And whatever your feelings about cats, here’s why it’s serious: many serial killers and spree killers start by abusing defenceless animals, eventually working their way up to…well, people.
  1. Cat killing (singular)
What do you do when a cat meows a lot? Feed it? Pet it? How about pick it up, and throw it off the 13th storey? In May 2016, that’s exactly what someone did. He chucked a male cat off the ledge because he felt it was being noisy.
Now in his defence, the courts found he was intellectually challenged, so he may not have understood what he was doing. But it didn’t help that this occurred in a neighbourhood where people were already looking for a cat killer (and no, it’s not him).
  1. Police getting attacked with a stun gun
In January this year, two people were spotted by the police, in their attempt to steal something from a car. Now, pop quiz:
When someone who possess a loaded gun, and is trained to use it, approaches you, you should:
(a) Stop and do what he says
(b) Attack the person with a real gun, using a stun gun
The two people in question chose option B, which promptly led to their arrest. But that’s not the big issue. The big issue is how they managed to get their hands on a stun gun, when most of us can’t get a bigger laser pointer past customs.
Oh wait, there were another two guys playing with a stun gun at North Point mall last year. Maybe they sell a much more exotic range of goods at Yishun pasar malams or something.
  1. Rat problems
Yishun has an on and off rat issues. Nothing out of control, but enough to be an annoyance at times.
Maybe the cat killings explain this one.
  1. A drug syndicate
111 drug traffickers were nabbed in an operation last year. Guess where their leader was.
That’s right, he was caught with around $62,000 worth of drugs in Yishun. But that’s small. The biggest drug dealer from Yishun may be Barry Zheng Chongde, who was involved in a $64.6 million cocaine syndicate in Australia.
Drugs may also have been involved in an accident near the Yishun MRT station, where three people were injured when someone tried to drive through a police roadblock (the police were searching the car before it happened).
It’s amazing no one is writing the script for CSI: Yishun at this point.
  1. Someone who wants your children
Most recently, we got reports of a mysterious man asking for any children, via door-to-door knocking. Kind of like the most terrifying karang-guni man you’ve ever heard of.
This is really unfair, as any Yishun residents with pets or children now need to barricade their house. Maybe this is why so many of them have stun guns, is all we’re saying.
  1. Numerous murders and suicides
Enter Yishun murders in Google and you’ll receive a whole slew of search results dedicated to the subject. Some examples are this case, this other case and the most notable is the triple murder case in 2008 committed at Blk 349 Yishun Street 11.
Aside from murders, suicides are depressingly also a common occurrence in Yishun – read all about their grisly details here.
Why do these things happen in Yishun?
Our guess is population density. Yishun is over 21 square kilometres, with a population of around 202,000. The estimated population density is 9,500 per square kilometre. Compare it to Bedok (13,360.5 per square kilometre), or Sengkang (51,000 per square kilometre), and you can see it’s not too packed.
Now if you want to do something covert – whether it’s being a cat serial killer or smuggle drugs, it’s the quieter neighbourhoods that you will move to. Yishun was emblematic of the sleepy residential enclave (until the weirdness), so you can see why a drug syndicate leader would pick the place. There are just fewer eyes to observe you.
Of course, that’s bound to change now, as Yishun’s bizarre events come more into light.
On the bright side, not all is bad
Sure, Yishun may have its quirks, but don’t let the horror stories scare you. If you take into account the relatively affordable housing and the amount of amenities available at your doorstep, Yishun is a pretty great place to live.
Average resale flat prices are one of the most attractive for home-buyers, with plenty of other residential developments in recent times such as The Wisteria ($1,002 average psf) and North Park Residences ($1,323 average psf). Both of these projects have been attracting a great deal of attention from property observers.
