Frequent sightings of crocodiles along the Brunei River have raised public concern over their increasing population. To joggers at Taman Mahkota Jubli Emas, this is becoming a common sight.
The issue was raised recently during the Legislative Council (LegCo) meeting, with LegCo members sharing that crocodiles have been spotted in drains, rivers, beaches and Kampong Ayer.
Minister of Primary Resources and Tourism Yang Berhormat Dato Seri Setia Dr Haji Abdul Manaf bin Haji Metussin said 57 crocodiles were caught between January 2023 and February 2024, six at Kampong Ayer alone.
