NParks sued over alleged negligence in wild boar attack, Botanic Gardens falls
One lawsuit stems from a 2023 wild boar attack in Bukit Panjang that drew widespread public attention.
The National Parks Board (NParks) is facing two lawsuits for alleged negligence. In one case, a woman named Ms Durga Devi Subramaniam is suing for injuries sustained in a wild boar attack at a Bukit Panjang bus stop in 2023. She alleges that the wild boar attacked her, causing injuries to her hand, leg, middle finger, palm, and buttocks.
She is seeking damages for medical expenses, transport costs, and loss of earnings. NParks denies the allegations of negligence and claims it took all reasonable measures to manage the wild boar population and minimize risks to public safety. In a separate case, two individuals are suing NParks for tripping over a temporary cable cover installed at the Singapore Botanic Gardens.
They argue that the agency failed to ensure the cover did not protrude from the path and did not provide adequate warning signs. Both cases are pending before the State Courts.
