SINGAPORE: More than 1,000 enforcement actions were taken against high-rise litterbugs last year, after the number of surveillance cameras installed rose by more than 50 per cent from 2019.
The National Environment Agency (NEA) also worked with town councils to share information in the investigation of littering offences, said Senior Minister of State for Sustainability and the Environment Amy Khor on Tuesday (Feb 2).
SINGAPORE - People who feed wild animals are being made to pay a pretty penny for their actions, as the authorities move to clamp down on behaviour that could escalate chances of human-wildlife conflict.
Members of the nature community tell The Straits Times that this is a timely move, especially with Singapore s greening efforts paying off and bringing humans into closer proximity with wildlife.
On Wednesday (Jan 13), the National Parks Board (NParks) said it will be hauling 19 individuals to court for feeding wild boars in Lorong Halus - the largest number brought to court under the Wildlife Act since it came into effect last June.
