Yishun Park’s Wild Boar Drama and the Unexpected Comeback
For the past ten days, 61‑year‑old homemaker Koh has been itching for a change of pace. She’s used to strolling through Yishun Park on her way to the Hawker Centre, but that routine hit a snag when a rogue wild boar crashed into Khatib Central on March 9, injuring three lucky ladies.
Park Shutdown: Until the Boar’s Bellow stops even in the woods
Since that incident, the park has been sealed off for safety. Authorities fear the boar is still holed up somewhere deep within the trees. But hope arrives—one can now peek through the curtain of safety: the park has partially reopened.
What’s Happening Inside the Hilarity‑Wrapped Jungle?
- As of March 18, AsiaOne witnessed the removal of many protective measures—hoardings, nettings, and cordon tapes are all gone.
- The desired “shortcut” Koh uses—those wind‑tacked footpaths, a dog run, and a community garden—is now again accessible to the public.
- Maintenance work is still underway, but the park’s core attractions are back on the map.
“The Boar’s Is Right Out There But Safe From Us!”
When we asked Koh—who opted to keep her true identity a mystery—her response was as cool as the Singapore summer:
I’m not worried. You can see the forest is already hoarded up. The wild boar is separated from us. So, I’ll just hop back into my regular routine.
So buckle up, folks! Whether it’s a fender‑bender or a feral wild boar adventure, Yishun Park is slowly spinning back into action—one footstep at a time.
See a Park in the Making!
The scene this week
AsiaOne rolled up their sleeves and visited the local park multiple times. They spotted the sprawl of construction underway right there on the ground.
