A sambar deer fawn was rescued from a grass verge along the Bukit Timah Expressway (BKE) on Sunday (Nov 8) afternoon, thanks to a passing motorcyclist.
The motorcyclist, James Lee, said in a post on Facebook Group, Singapore Wildlife Sightings, that he was on his way back from a workshop when he spotted the fawn by the side of the expressway.
Photographs posted by Lee show the fawn curled up on the grass verge, in front of a fenced up section, beneath a slope.
Commenting on the post, wildlife conservation and advocacy group Save Sambar Deer pointed out that the fencing is part of the ongoing wildlife exclusion fencing project in the area.
It posted a video showing an uncompleted stretch further away from the area where the fawn was found.
Fences were previously installed at several locations across Singapore, including major roads near the Bukit Timah and Central Catchment nature reserves, to curb wildlife-vehicle collisions.
Then-National Development Minister Desmond Lee had said in a Facebook post in April 2025 that these 1.8m-high fences can help deter mammals from jumping over them, reducing the incidences of roadkill.
According to the minister, higher-risk areas were identified based on past incidents.
