A netizen has raised alarm over a “severe bed bug infestation” in Ang Mo Kio, claiming to have been bitten more than 20 times.<\/p>\n
In a video posted in Facebook group Complaint Singapore today (March 30), several insects are seen crawling around the insides of a seating area outside AMK Hub near a McDonald’s outlet.<\/p>\n
“In between the wooden slats, there is a severe bed bug infestation. Please don’t sit there… Hope you don’t bring any home,” captioned the post.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The user claimed he was bitten over 20 times on his buttocks in just a few minutes, noting that older people were also present, sitting and lying in the area.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In response to AsiaOne’s queries, a spokesperson of the Ang Mo Kio Town Council said: “Our property team conducted checks with our pest control operator this morning and confirmed that the insects observed were cockroaches, not bed bugs.<\/p>\n
“Treatment is currently in progress, and we will continue to monitor the area closely to maintain a clean and comfortable environment for residents and visitors.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
The town council also encouraged members of the public and users of the seating area to dispose food and rubbish into covered bins to help prevent pest growth.\u00a0<\/p>\n
