Yishun pigeon feeder, 74, asks court for email address to explain herself

A 74-year-old woman charged with feeding pigeons in Yishun has denied all charges and, in a courtroom moment that will not soon be forgotten, requested the court's email address so she could explain herself in writing. The case stems from repeated pigeon-feeding activity in Yishun, an offence under Singapore's National Environment Agency regulations that carries fines for those caught sustaining urban bird populations. The elderly accused's in-court request for an email address suggests a defence strategy that is, at minimum, novel. The case continues, as does, presumably, the pigeon population.
