Written Reply to Parliamentary Question on pet urination in public spaces by Ms Grace Fu, Minister for Sustainability and the Environment.

Question:

Mr Abdul Muhaimin Abdul Malik: To ask the Minister for Sustainability and the Environment in view of the increasing number of pet owners in Singapore, whether the Ministry will review its current stance of relying primarily on public education and consider introducing enforceable measures against pet owners who fail to clean up after their pets urinate in public spaces of HDB estates.

 Answer:

We encourage pet owners to be civic-minded and considerate. Pet owners should water down or wash off pet urination to keep public spaces clean and prevent bad smells and stains where practicable. There are currently no plans to mandate pet owners to clean up after pet urination.
