  SINGAPORE: The National Environment Agency (NEA) said it will take action against two food operators in Ang Mo Kio (AMK) Hub.

  This came after it discovered traces of rat activities in their premises.

  NEA conducted a three-week probe involving 55 food operators within the mall, following public feedback.
  
  Its officers found rat activities in Dian Xiao Er Restaurant and MOF Restaurant.
  
  It added four rats were caught in AMK Hub in November this year, and six rat burrows were found near the mall.
  
  NEA has requested the mall to work with its food operators to take preventive measures against rats.
  
  NEA officers are monitoring these efforts.
  
  AMK Hub said several measures have been put in place to prevent rat activity, including sealing up wire mesh openings for all ventilation ducts in food and beverage outlets, as well as conducting night checks in the mall.
  
  Rat traps and glue boards have also been placed in various areas in AMK Hub.

  Residents complain of rat problem at Golden Mile Complex

  SINGAPORE: Residents of Golden Mile Complex have complained of rat problems on their premises, days after a similar incident was reported at AMK Hub.

  A resident interviewed by Channel NewsAsia said he has caught two rats in his home in a week.

  The resident, Mr Wong, said that he usually spots the rats around 5am or 6am.
  
  "We have to catch the rats using our own methods. Most of them are caught using cages. But rats nowadays are bigger than my phone and are smarter, they don't enter the cages," he said.
  
  Golden Mile Complex's management had earlier sent out a circular to its residents saying that the rat problem could be due to unhygienic food preparation or disposal of food waste by shop operators or occupiers on the building's lower floors.
  
  They also urged all to cooperate and maintain cleanliness in the estate.
