ECTC took the opportunity to seek residents’ cooperation in keeping the playground clean and hygienic.
On Friday (10 May), ECTC responded to a netizen’s claim that it had not taken action against the rat situation at the playground.
Contrary to the netizen’s allegations, ECTC said it had initiated rat treatment in the area since a week ago.

Nonetheless, the town council said it will “implement further measures to address residents’ concerns” after receiving feedback from residents.
ECTC took the opportunity to remind residents about proper garbage disposal, explaining that this can contribute to the rats’ rapid breeding and infestation.
Earlier this week, footage showing a group of boys playing with a rat at the playground started circulating on social media.

Some boys were seen picking up the rodent with their bare hands while others attempted to pick the rodent up using a pair of slippers.
Reactions to the video were mixed. While some netizens pointed out that it was part of having a childhood, others expressed hygiene concerns.
