Residents living on the fringes of the Lower
Peirce forest, where wild boars roam, want the National Parks Board
(NParks) to leave the animals alone.
'I hardly see them and they haven't been a nuisance at all,' said Mrs Laura Loke, a 57-year-old retiree who has lived in the area for more than 10 years.
In fact, sightings of the creatures are part and parcel of the charm of living near the forest, said 56-year-old Bernard Teo, a semi-retired businessman.
'When you buy a house here, you should already be prepared to see some of these wild animals; it's all part of nature,' he added.
