SINGAPORE: The Agri-Food & Veterinary Authority of Singapore (AVA) euthanised almost 2,500 animals - 942 dogs, 888 cats and 623 monkeys - in 2015, Minister for National Development Lawrence Wong said on Monday (Mar 14). Another 265 dogs and 129 cats were rehomed.

This is out of the estimated population of 60,000 stray cats, 7,000 stray dogs and 1,900 wild monkeys in Singapore, he added in response to a question by Nee Soon GRC MP Louis Ng, who is the founder of the Animal Concerns Research & Education Society.

AVA has to impound strays when the public raises safety concerns, Mr Wong said. AVA will then work with animal welfare groups to rehome the animals, while those that are not rehomed - such as aggressive or sick animals - will be humanely euthanised as a "last resort".

AVA will "continue to work with animal welfare group to rehome stray animals," Mr Wong added.

SINGAPORE: Ahead of 2016, which is when the Year of the Monkey starts according to the Chinese zodiac calendar, the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) announced on Friday (Nov 20) it would be releasing coins and coin sets at the start of next year.

The coins are part of the third Chinese Almanac coin series, and features a monkey with a "playful and curious" disposition while holding a peach which symbolises longevity, MAS said in its press release.

The Year of the Monkey coins will be available in nine versions, including a 1 kg coin made of 999 fine silver, which is the largest silver coin in Singapore. Selected premium sets will include an eight-sided floral-shaped ingot featuring a family of monkeys, it added.

Additionally, the agency will also issue the 2016 Chinese Almanac puzzle coin set, which will feature a centrepiece surrounded by the 12 coins each depicting the design of the animals in the series, it said.

The sale of the coins will be conducted by the Singapore Mint, and orders start on Friday and must reach the sales agent by Dec 15, MAS said.
