Chicks Found in Car Armrest Console

A vigilant ICA – Immigration & Checkpoints Authority officer at Woodlands Checkpoint stopped a Singapore-registered car for security checks and discovered two live chicks hidden in a watch box on 22 May 2019.

The watch box was kept in one of the car compartments.

A 28-year-old male Singaporean is currently assisting NParks in its investigation, while the chicks are being cared for and quarantined to observe for any signs of infectious or contagious diseases.

ICA and NParks would like to remind travellers against bringing live animals, birds and insects into Singapore without a proper permit.
