Summary
This year, the National Environment Agency’s latest bi-monthly surveillance detected an average of 5,400 rat burrows islandwide - almost twice the figure from the year before, and the highest recorded in the past five years. Why are rats thriving despite years of control measures? What is fueling this surge, and could the same factors be spreading infestations into more neighbourhoods across the island?
In this special two-part Talking Point investigation, host Steven Chia heads to Pasir Ris West - one of Singapore’s latest battlegrounds in the war on rats - to uncover why residents are spotting more rodents, how infestations are taking hold, and what solutions are being tried on the ground.
