TANAH MERAH, 15 APRIL 2026 (WEDNESDAY) – The Tanah Merah District Council wishes to inform all livestock owners to ensure their pets, particularly cattle and buffalo, are confined and not left to roam in public areas and road reserves.

Under the Tanah Merah District Council Minor Enactment (UUK), the council has full authority to capture and seize any animals found roaming unsupervised.
