  "account": "A Singaporean woman, 37, has filed a lawsuit against the National Parks Board (NParks) for S$39,827.10 in damages after a wild boar attacked her at a bus stop in Bukit Panjang in 2023. She is also seeking compensation for medical expenses, transportation costs, and lost earnings. NParks is contesting the claim, blaming the incident on factors beyond its control, such as a previous traffic accident involving a wild boar and Durga Devi Subramaniam's own negligence. Another lawsuit is being brought against NParks by Lim Fon Kui and Wong Sung Mui, who claim they tripped over a temporary cable cover at the Singapore Botanic Gardens on July 27, 2025. The pair suffered injuries, including a fractured knee, and are seeking damages totaling over S$11,000. Both cases are set to go to court on August 21.",
