In Singapore, bird-related issues continue to be a recurring problem despite efforts to resolve them. At a coffee shop in Toa Payoh, patrons have reported that birds directly fly onto tables and steal their food, while some customers leave dishes uncleaned, attracting pigeons. In a separate incident, a 67-year-old woman was caught feeding pigeons across several HDB estates, although it is illegal in Singapore to feed wild animals without permission. To cope with rising fuel prices, private ambulance operators absorb the costs, although they warn of the possibility of transport fee increases as well. Diversifying away from fossil fuels and achieving a medium-term climate target remain challenges for Temasek Holdings.
