According to the NEA, it had received complaints about rat activity Kang Kar Mall since the start of the year, but no rat activity was detected when the NEA followed up on the complaints. “Nevertheless, we advised Kang Kar Mall management, NTUC Fair Price Co-operative Ltd, and Kopitiam Food Court to practise proper food storage and refuse management,” the agency said.
However, two weeks ago, during a routine inspection of the external area between Kang Kar Mall and Hougang Mall, the agency detected two burrows under the charge of the Hougang Mall management, AsiaMalls Management. “NEA had informed the mall management of these findings, and the burrows have since been treated,” the agency said.
In the video that went viral — posted by an irate shopper — a rat can be seen running around the bread aisle of the supermarket. The video was accompanied by several photos that showed bread packages with holes as a result of the rodent. The shopper also complained of inaction by Fairprice staff when he raised the issue with them.
