Repeated crow attacks have forced some residents at a Yishun HDB block to wear hats and carry umbrellas whenever they leave their homes. According to Chinese language daily Shin Min Daily News, crows have been sighted near Block 750 Yishun Street 72 over the past three weeks.   A resident, surnamed Lu (transliteration), alleged that the birds became increasingly aggressive after building nests in nearby trees, swooping down at residents and pecking at them. Lu said his wife alone had been attacked more than 10 times during this period.   "I always carry an umbrella when I go out"   In an interview with Shin Min, Lu's wife said the first incident occurred near the lift entrance below the HDB block, and the attacks subsequently became more frequent. On Mar. 14, she said she was pecked on the head three times by the birds. Thankfully, a passerby helped her to chase them away. However, the following day, the birds attacked her again when she returned home from grocery shopping, pecking at her clothes. "Now I always carry an umbrella when I go out," said Lu's wife. "But the crows are very fierce, and sometimes they even peck at the umbrella."   She added that the birds would repeatedly peck at her ears and head, and occasionally fly into the sixth-floor corridor to attack residents, leaving her fearful whenever she steps out of the house. To deter the birds, Lu’s wife said she has placed a pinwheel in the corridor and placed bamboo poles, with rags tied to them, among their potted plants to prevent crows from landing on the low corridor walls.   Photo from Shin Min Daily News.   They also keep bamboo poles nearby to ward off the birds if necessary.   Aggression suspected to be caused by presence of nests and chicks   Other residents interviewed also shared similar encounters.   One resident told Shin Min she had seen crows flying along the corridor and now avoids that stretch, opting to use a lift on the other side of the block instead. A fifth-floor resident said a crow once swooped down from behind and brushed past her head. She added that the birds sometimes perch on clotheslines, prompting her to hang CDs to scare them away. Another resident, surnamed Fu, said he was also pecked on the ear by a crow several weeks ago at a nearby open-air car park, though he was not seriously injured.   Photo from Shin Min Daily News.   He suspected the birds may be acting aggressively, as there are nests and chicks nearby. According to an NParks advisory, reports of crows attacking people are likely due to them defending their nests or young.   "To avoid being attacked, do not stand near the nest or the area where the crows are attacking. Please do not hesitate to call our Animal Response Centre at 1800-476-1600 immediately should the attacks continue." To prevent crows from entering or perching outside houses, NParks also suggested storing food properly, keeping bins covered, and using deterrents such as bird spikes.     Resumption of crow shooting operations   It was previously announced on Feb. 23 that crow shooting operations will resume in Singapore from the second half of March 2026 to complement existing crow management efforts. The National Parks Board (NParks) noted that the crow population has grown in recent years, alongside a sharp increase in public complaints. Crow-related feedback received by the Municipal Services Office reportedly tripled from close to 5,000 cases in 2020 to about 15,000 cases in 2025.   Feedback on crow aggression also surged from over 460 cases in 2020 to more than 2,000 cases in 2025. In 2025, 9,000 crow nests were removed islandwide, up from over 600 in 2021, NParks said. The number of crows trapped and removed by NParks also rose from more than 1,800 in 2021 to over 13,000 in 2025. Announcing the resumption, Minister for National Development Chee Hong Tat pointed out that crow shooting operations were part of Singapore's crow population management efforts until 2020. "Unfortunately, there were a few incidents where pellets struck nearby buildings due to human errors, including non-compliance with safety protocols by the auxiliary police officers," he said, adding that enforcement actions have been taken against the officers involved. Chee said the measure is being reintroduced as one of several ways to manage the crow population, noting that the safety of residents will be affected if the crow population continues to grow.

A pair of mobility devices, which appeared to be power-assisted bicycles (PABs), were caught on camera running a red light on the night of March 13, leaving one driver horrified. Stomper E said the incident happened at about 7.55pm at Yishun Central, near Yishun Community Hospital. Dashcam footage shared by the Stomper, taken at a busy four-way junction, showed the two mobility devices running a red light just after a group of pedestrians had cleared the pedestrian crossing. While the type and model of the devices were not verifiable from the dashcam footage, they appeared to be PABs.   Based on the footage shown, there appeared to be two riders on the first PAB. Neither appeared to be wearing helmets. "They were travelling at a fast speed without any safety gear and beating the red light," E observed.   The Stomper felt that the PAB riders were behaving dangerously and wanted to raise awareness of such behaviour.   "It won't be fair to other drivers if they collide with these two (PAB) riders," the Stomper added. Land Transport Authority (LTA) regulations state that PABs are allowed on roads. However, riders must adhere to the following rules: Be at least 16 years old Must wear protective gear Keep to a maximum speed of 25kmh PABs must also meet the technical requirements listed here. In response to a Stomp query, the police confirm that a report was lodged and investigations are ongoing.
