Mostly True
Singapore
In Singapore, hitting a dog with your car and not stopping is a crime, while hitting a cat and not stopping is not a crime.
Infact verdict: Mostly True (66/100).
The claim that hitting a dog with your car and not stopping is a crime in Singapore is supported by evidence indicating legal obligations to stop and report such incidents, with penalties including fines and possible imprisonment. Conversely, while hitting a cat and not stopping is not specifically a crime, failing to stop after hitting any animal is illegal, suggesting a broader legal requirement to stop regardless of the animal involved. This indicates a misunderstanding in the claim about cats, as the law applies to all animals.
