Scientists have given these creature a name of "SMALL THING" to let the people noe more bout these creatures. The highest the JIAYINGS can grow to in their short life span of an averge of 5-6 years is 1.55m. The diet of these SMALL creatures are mainly leaves of only trees grown in Bedok, thus due to the lack of trees in Bedok, the JIAYINGS are currently in a dangerous state of being endanger. Government and wildlife authorities are doing measures to prevent the endangerment of the JIAYINGS, mainly,

2, Setting up a wildlife reserve for the JIAYINGS
3, Setting up of the PROTECT THE JIAYINGS campaign
During the campaign, several measures will be taken. Fliers of the information on the jiayings will be given out to aware the public about their existence and endangerment. Advertisements will also be played on mediacorp channels, Tv mobile and even on Mob Tv. Plastic bags will be given to the residents of Bedok monthly for them to help pick up the fallen leaves on the floor, volunteers will then move around the areas at the end of each month to collect the leaves and hand out the new plastic bags of the month, residents failing to hand over at least half a bag will be given a fine of $150 or more, CASH ONLY! More information about the campaign will be released on the JIAYING forum (http://www.protect-the-jiayings-campaign.sg/forum) for the public to take and post their comments and ideas on the protecting of these SMALL creatures.
The public is also to be aware not to be alarmed when they see these creatures as they are harmless and also not to feed them with any food.
