Recently, some otters were attempting to cross Orchard Road outside the Istana.
As traffic whizzed by, a police officer decided they needed a hand. He temporarily halted oncoming cars and ushered the creatures across the road.
Footage of this adorable encounter surfaced on TikTok.
Many users now say there should be signages along the road indicating the otters’ presence as they seem to frequent this area.
On Sunday (17 Sep), a short clip of the otters crossing Orchard Road, right outside the Istana, surfaced on the video-sharing platform.

Soon, what appeared to be a police officer, presumably from the Istana, came out to assist them.
He clapped to usher them across the road when traffic lightened up. Then, the officer put up his hand to halt the remaining oncoming traffic to let the otters pass.

Most commenters also say there should be signages along the road indicating the otters’ presence.

Another user reminded drivers to drive slowly along that stretch in case there are otters. They also thanked officers on duty for being there to guide both otters and human pedestrians.
