Sg chickens fly....hahahaha
It's Sunday so it's gonna be busy there as the workers are mostly off on Sunday
Fruits is not accounted for. But if you pick the fruits, you will be reported by those that did not pick up the fruits and jealous that you pick it! ha! ha! ha!
That's funny 😂
Wonder who introduced the 🐓 chicken into the Singapore estate. 5 years ago they were not around. 🤔
😂😂
rubbish... you should get out a bit more
Cats is allowed now. Anyway, people has been keeping cats for ages, some as many as 8 (not talking about hoarders) and the HDB normally closed one eye as long as neighbours don't complain.
Chickens n Peacocks do fly. I've seen them high up on a tall tree at labrador Park. I always thought they don't fly. For renting, it's good to engage a licensed property realtor to represent u to be safe. Singapore is safe but there r scammers around too.
FYI it’s NOT illegal to have cats & dogs in hdb. We all keep cats in our HDB units, vy common in Singapore. There are of course always will have some stray cats at HDB blocks area,not everyone wants to have them in the house too.😊As to why only certain dogs are allowed cos we had experiences of certain dogs attacked human beings before. Also, if the dogs are barking too loud u will also attract complaints by the residents, and that’s how Govt dept will intervene later on. The Govt in Singapore will always proactively respond to the needs of Singaporeans❤
Very entertaining video and good editing. Keep up the good work!

Chicken? Singapore "Kampong" spirit. That's how Singapore kampongs ( villages) used to be. Chickens roaming around. These are not your normal chickens. They are Kampong Chickens. More of the jungle wild fowl breed. That's why they fly.
Not 100% safe. As the police campaign mentioned, low crime doesn’t mean no crime. Also, no natural disasters but has a scorching sun and humidity. *sweating as I typed this! 😅😅😅
You do not have to wait for your turn for a car if you have the money. You can buy pre-owned car and get it within a week after the loan and admin clear. Only when you buy a new car, you have to wait for the auction of permit (COE) which occurs on 2 Wednesdays of each month. If you have even more money, you can pay more to the dealer for "immediate" registration of new cars (that is xstock) with their Open Car COE that they keep in reserve.
HDB rule about cat ownership has changed and it's now allowed. It wasn't allowed before because cats like to climb and I guess the authorities do not want to have to deal with pet cats falling off tall buildings. Now if you want to keep cats in HDB, you can but you need to be vigilant and keep them indoors within your own compound.
Singapore cats have learnt not to commit suicide from high rise flats after these years….I think.🤔
Now Cat is allow as pet in HDB apt.
its a FINE city with lots of strange laws, if you didnt return bowls and plates back to return areas you will get a warning even a fine
I definitely don’t mind this latest law. Don’t you find it easier to find a cleaned table nowadays (since we can’t educate people to return their tray so we try the stick method and guess wat. It works
What so strange laws like returning dishes?? Well sorry cos Singapore happens to attract ppl from all over the world to live here, that also include some 3rd world countries ppl such as yourself that don’t know how to behave properly😂That’s why we have signs of fines everywhere to remind u 3rd world foreigners not to try your luck to commit anti social behaviours in Singapore❤❤
Circuit breaker and restricted activities/movement during Covid brought the wildlife --- wild boars, otters, jungle fowls -- into the open...Yeah!!!
Informative as well as knowledgeable video about Singapore. Great job, Mike Gigi. Thanks for sharing 🫰😍
Voting is mandatory, but why? Don't forget that the one voting system we have today is the result of our ancestors' struggle for democracy and freedom.
"Singaporean chicken", interesting... And they fly...
they allow to have cats now at HDB officially, max 2 cat per household
its a crime to buy air ticket but dont go ahead with flight after checking in......certificate of entitlement costs more than actual car.....
We are not allowed to take the fruits so that the animals and birds in the wild are able to eat them. As more jungles are cleared for humans, we nèed to help sustain the wild life as we have taken over their territory. You will also see half eaten fruits falling on the grounds, most probably left overs by a monkey or a bird.
the rules have changed. HDB owners are allowed to own cats this year 2024.
Who told u dont vote u get fine? Omg u r spreading stupid false statement!
About cats. Take a trip to St Johns Island. Cats GALORE!

Yep, struck off the electoral rolls if you don’t vote, and you need to pay ($50? I can’t remember) to get back on. So you aren’t literally forced to do so - if you can’t be arsed you can ignore all of it. But of course Singaporeans always want to ‘retain the option’ of doing so and hate paying unnecessary fees so will vote to maintain it. 😂
A panicked resident asked what to do with his bedridden aged parent, who was unable to come to vote. He was worried his parent would be penalised. He was told that his parent would be struck off the electoral roll. And would have to pay to be reinstated in future. That was the extent of the penalty. So he thought about it, and really having his aged, bedridden parent struck off the rolls was probably for the best.
About the flying chickens at 5:33 - these aren't domestic chickens that have escaped and gone feral. Most of the "chickens" roaming wild in Singapore (excluding the all-white rooster at 5:47; that's a domestic/hybrid one) are actually wild red junglefowl that have never been domesticated. So they really _are_ wildlife - as wild as the sparrows, crows, orioles, kites, doves, eagles, kingfishers, egrets, woodpeckers and hornbills flying around Singapore. Domestic chickens are descended from this wild bird (domestic ones also have hybrid genes from the grey and green junglefowl, which are separate species.) You used not to see the wild red junglefowl on the main island of Singapore, but maybe about 15-20 years ago they started re-appearing more frequently, having flown over probably from Malaysia - first to Pulau Ubin, and then to the main island (driven out by deforestation in Johor, most likely). They can fly short distances, although they prefer to spend most of their time foraging on the ground. And they'll fly up into the trees to escape threats and also to roost at night (that gives them better protection from predators). Singapore is an ideal habitat for them, because they need both trees to roost and nearby green open space to forage, both of which the country has a lot of, as well as smaller predator numbers (stray dogs and cats aren't abundant here - and those that _are_ present probably can scavenge enough food without needing to hunt flying birds - although the red junglefowl still does have to contend with Singapore's wild boars, snakes and birds of prey, not that there are huge numbers of these). Anyway, the red junglefowl has been flourishing here (and possibly feeding the raptor population, which seems to be growing as well).
Very interesting bio-history. Do you know what changed 20 years ago that allowed them to flourish? NEA culling policies? Reduced cat predation? They were extremely uncommon growing up. Now they are everywhere.
Just to add, jungle fowls have grey legs. Domestic chickens have yellow legs. Some of these "jungle fowls" are domestic chickens that have gone feral. Or have some domestic chicken DNA. I have seen one with yellow legs. Jungle fowls are protected (I think there was a news story of a Foreign Worker who caught a jungle fowl - presumably for food), but if you catch a yellow leg chicken, you might have a defence that you are not catching a protected species. Maybe. This is not legal advice. 🙂
@@user-jk5um1om8l As with most eco-system phenomena it's probably a combination of factors. I'm guessing my way around quite a large chunk of this, but about 10-20 years ago is when deforestation for development of previously untouched forest land in Johor probably reached a tipping point - Iskandar Malaysia, Forest City, Pasir Gudang, etc. This would have applied pressure to local junglefowl populations and caused them to flee areas being cleared, including flying across the Straits of Johor to patches of green in Singapore, which at the time was also undergoing a renaissance in greening the urban habitat. Green Mark legislation had for some time required developers to re-plant greenery taken away by development, and the evolution of Singapore from _Garden City_ to _A City in a Garden_ was already well underway with patches of life-sustaining green no longer isolated islands but always connected by greenery. I'm thinking also the rat and crow population seems to have gone down greatly from a couple of decades back (this is anecdotal though, but it wasn't unusual to see large rats in back alleys and flocks of crows everywhere back then, and AVA had a hard time coping, even organising crow shoots). If this is so, it means that some major urban predators for junglefowl chicks and eggs were taken out of the picture. (Cats also don't seem to be as much of a threat here; the stray cats I've seen in Singapore get fed by volunteers and I've never seen any actively hunting, though of course this is again anecdotal.) The time was ripe for the return of the red junglefowl, and they certainly took advantage of it. The abundance of medium-height trees for roosting, open and connected green spaces, lots of F&B with food scraps for omnivore junglefowl (no longer scavenged by crows and rats), less predation by the aforementioned as well, and clean water in abundance (the otters aren't the only ones who are thankful for that - prior to the cleaning up of the Singapore River in the 80s waterways everywhere weren't able to support much life) all came together at the right time to provide a welcome refuge for junglefowl fleeing from the north.
@@telomeke3157 Fascinating and plausible! Thanks for explaining.
I always like to joke that these chickens will end up in KFC or as chicken rice eventually 😂
2 - Not really... No one really go about counting every fruit on a tree or will go about enforcing some sort of 'anti fruit stealing' operation in conjunction with the Singapore Police. The reason nobody take the fruits... Is because the quality of the fruits ain't that good... Its planted for the looks... But not for the tastiness of the fruits... So, why bother to go get some low quality fruits when its not that expensive in the wet market or supermarket... Except wild durians in the nature reserve... People wait in groups in the forest, even at night, till a fruit falls from a tree. 😂🤣 3 - Everyone can own a Car... Just that not everyone could afford one or is willing to 'afford' one. There is a different to you saying "Not everyone can own a Car"... Which suggests there is a form of discrimination against certain people... But looking at Mr Blue Car in park slot 26A... who didn't or couldn't park properly.... Yeah, maybe some people shouldn't be allowed to drive or own a car... The person who could own a car doesn't need to be 'Lucky:... Just need to be rich enough to out bid everyone else for the COE. 4 - Rules and Consequences of breaking the rules are laid out so that you can't claim you 'don't know' you are breaking the law/rule. But that being said.... Its usually not seriously enforced... Have you ever seen anyone in uniform standing inside any public toilet monitoring did someone 'forget' to flush ?? And Yes, the old saying among new recruits in SAF (Singapore Armed Forces) is just that... "You can do anything but don't get caught"... which is applicable to everywhere and anywhere... Just don't cry when you DO get caught. 5 - Voting is compulsory in Singapore. Having many locations to vote near to you. Make it easy for everyone to vote especially the elderly and disabled. But something you didn't know... You are told which voting booths nearest your home to go to, and just can't turn up anywhere just to vote. A government cannot claim to have the mandate of the people if a large group of the population didn't even bother yo vote... If you dislike all the candidates... Feel free to spoil your vote by not stamping either candidates or both candidates... 6 - Those are not really wild chicken... But escape pets or pets that has been released when the owner get bored with them... Like most adaptable animals... like the Otters... They find a way to survive and grow in an Urban Jungle. 7 - Like someone already pointed out... The rule is hardly enforced unless your neighbour complained about the noise or smell or something else. Some dog breeds are unsuitable for topical weather or is famous for being aggressive... as for HDB... Large dogs are not suitable for small apartments... that's why only small breeds are allowed. As for other "Strange" Pets... Usually its banned due to either its NOT a native species... Or that such animals are endangered or are usually wild caught illegally... 8 - Compare to China... Singapore's online payment system is still very much in its infancy.

While the ban of cats is still in place, it is not actively enforced as HDB only acts against errant home owners whose cats are a public nuisance.
