Management Plans of Long-term Community Animals

57 Mr Alex Yeo asked the Minister for National Development what is the Ministry's plan in the management of long-term community animals.

Mr Chee Hong Tat: The Trap-Neuter-Rehome/Release Manage (TNRM) programmes for free-roaming dogs and community cats were implemented since 2018 and 2024 respectively. In partnership with animal welfare groups, veterinarians and the community, these animals are humanely captured, sterilised, microchipped and ear tipped, before they are rehomed or released back into the community.

The National Parks Board will continue to support the TNRM programme.
