An Indian-origin senior citizen in Singapore, Sanmugamnathan Shamla, has been fined SGD 1,200 for repeatedly feeding pigeons near her apartment block, defying legal prohibitions.
Despite prior warnings under the Wildlife Act, Shamla continued to disregard regulations by feeding pigeons and interfering with official trapping exercises.
Although a history of similar offenses exists, the court considered her age and circumstances in granting her a reduced fine, avoiding a harsher penalty.
