Even though he is a nature lover, Mr Goh Chok Tong says that he would rather not encounter crocodiles. In a Facebook post on Sunday (Feb 7), the former Emeritus Senior Minister shared that he went for “a pleasant nature walk” at Sungei Buloh Wetlands. There he saw a crocodile eating a monitor lizard. The photographer who showed it to him said the crocodiles are usually at the river mouth and you need patience to spy on them. “For me, I rather stay safe and not be part of the crocodile’s eco-system”, Mr Goh quipped. Last week, Mr Goh shared photos of a beehive in his garden that elicited a whole range of responses from netizens. In a Facebook post on Feb 1, he wrote that the first time he found a huge beehive in his garden, he called the pest controller. “It was silly of me”, he added. “Bees too have a right to live”, said Mr Goh, explaining that they are part of our eco-system. But just as some cautioned him against bees, many netizens advised Mr Goh not to get too close to the crocodiles. /TISG
