A lone Malayan tapir was recently spotted along Lorong Halus in Pasir Ris.Eric Teo shared a video of his encounter on March 19, sharing that he was cycling when he spotted the animal.«It was skittish, foraging briefly before retreating into the forest,» he wrote in a post on Nature Society Singapore's Facebook group. «Repeated sightings point to one thing, the Serangoon River forest is its home. Should we be doing more to protect a forest this rich in diversity?»In the video, the animal can be seen being wary of Teo and walking towards the forest as he approaches.Teo shared in an interview with The Straits Times that he had spotted the animal at around 2am that day, and felt that seeing a tapir in the wild was «rarer than striking lottery».

SINGAPORE - As the global oil shock pushes pump prices at major petrol retailers well past the $3-a-litre mark, Cnergy’s stations continue to undercut the competition in what its management says is a calculated move to gain market share.By keeping its prices significantly lower than the market average – up to S$1 lower than the competition when excluding discounts – the upstart Singapore brand has triggered localised traffic jams, gained social media fame, and generated a surge of about 40 per cent in the share price of its parent company, Union Gas Holdings.But Union Gas is not relying on hedging strategies, where companies lock in oil prices months in advance to protect against market shocks, to keep pump prices down.Instead, it is absorbing the rising wholesale costs directly, engaging in an aggressive customer acquisition play that relies on volume to offset tight margins.“We make a very, very marginal profit... there are days that we really go without profits,” Union Gas chief executive Teo Hark Piang told The Business Times in an interview on Friday (Mar 20).
