"Every day is an adventure. Being able to learn new things is what I like best about my job. I even managed to overcome my fear of heights to take up tree climbing, as I was inspired to become a good arborist. Today, I can proudly say that I am a certified tree climber. You don’t need to be a horticultural expert to join NParks - most of my plant knowledge was gained while on the job.

What's most important is your passion and your positive attitude to learn" - Ow Siew Ngim, Arborist & Director (Streetscape)

As a veterinarian at NParks, I am actively involved in implementing biosecurity measures to prevent animal diseases from entering Singapore, such as pre-border import policies and quarantine for animals.

I am proud to serve as the frontline in safeguarding public health, and the animal population in Singapore.” - Lee Heejun, Veterinarian (Licensing)
