SINGAPORE: Overcrowding at Singapore's beaches has led to the National Parks Board (NParks) introducing a new permit system.
NParks said the number of campers has doubled in the past few years, hitting some 12,000 last year.
To control the numbers at the beaches at Changi, East Coast, Pasir Ris, Sembawang and West Coast, campers will have to apply for a permit from mid-April onwards.
This can be done via AXS machines or at the NPark website at www.nparks.gov.sg.
This is different from the current practice where NParks officers register campers onsite.
NParks said reducing the number of campers means more space can be freed up for others.
