Man suffers gunshot wound while cycling in restricted area near SAF live-firing activity
A 42-year-old man sustained a gunshot wound about two kilometres away from a live-firing activity conducted by the Singapore Armed Forces yesterday. The police said the man was cycling with his friends near the Nee Soon 500m Open Range, a restricted area that the public does not have access to. He is in a stable condition at the National University Hospital. Under the Military Manoeuvres Act, the public is not allowed to enter gazetted areas meant for live-firing exercises. Investigations are ongoing and foul play is not suspected. Nee Soon Range has suspended live-firing activities as a precautionary measure. Rachel Teng reports.

Yishun, Punggol cat deaths likely caused by vehicle accidents, not abuse: NParks
Authorities have debunked suggestions that a serial cat killer is on the loose in Nee Soon. Investigations by the National Parks Board conclude that, out of the two dead felines found there over the past few weeks, at least one was likely a victim of a vehicle accident. NParks said its post mortem on community cat King Kong's carcass found no evidence of penetrating or sharp force wounds, which would have been likely in a case of abuse. Rather, the cat had fractures on its pelvis and breastbone, and a slight jutting out of its right eye. Rachel Teng reports.

Singapore's frozen chicken supply unlikely to be affected by Brazil bird flu outbreak
The Singapore Meat Traders' Association said there might be slight delays to frozen chicken imports. It cited the rush by importers around the world to find alternative sources, following a bird flu outbreak in Brazil. The association added that Singapore has sufficient stock and there will likely be no supply disruptions. It has also contacted counterparts in countries like Thailand, Japan and Indonesia, who stand ready to supply to Singapore if needed. Still, some suppliers and restaurants are holding their breaths for a price hike. Rachel Teng reports.
