STUDENT volunteers on a coastal cleanup of a Kranji mangrove
swamp on May 24 found litter more sinister than the usual plastic
bottles and food packaging - more than 30 used syringes, with
needles still attached.
The National Parks Board (NParks) could not confirm whether the
syringes were found clustered together or scattered across the
area, but said this was the biggest number of syringes found in a
single cleanup session.
