  "account": "On April 29, Durga Devi Subramaniam filed a lawsuit against Singapore's National Parks Board (NParks) for alleged negligence following a wild boar attack in 2023. According to court documents, the woman claimed she was bit and thrown three times by a wild boar at a bus stop on Bangkit Road around 11:50 pm on May 1, 2023. She suffered injuries to her right calf, fingers, palm, and buttocks and was taken to Tan Tock Seng Hospital. Subramaniam alleged that she later required multiple surgeries including microsurgical repair of nerve branches, resulting in permanent disability to her right hand.\n\nNParks responded by denying negligence, stating they had made \"all reasonable efforts\" to manage the wild boar population through monitoring, public education, enforcement against illegal feeding, habitat modification, and removal of animals when necessary. They added that a wild boar had been hit by a vehicle along the same road just five minutes before the incident, and suggested Subramaniam's failure to maintain a safe distance from the animal might have contributed to the attack. The lawsuit is currently pending in Singapore's State Courts and is scheduled to be mentioned tomorrow.",
