He had then disappeared to the side of the building.
A cleaner then walked out and said "cannot makan (Malay for "eat"), got problem", before sweeping pieces of bread from the floor.
Within minutes, Tiger started to limp. The trembling then began in the animal's legs, before spreading to the upper body. Before long, the dog was foaming at the mouth, with eyes bulging.
Shocked and confused, his owner, Alvin Chan rushed Tiger to Mount Pleasant Animal Medical Centre in Sunset Way but the pet died before they got there.
The 37-year-old former bank analyst said a vet confirmed that poison was the cause of death.
Suspecting that the bread was meant to cull pigeons, Mr Chan and his wife contacted West Coast Town Council and the Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority (AVA).
Last week, the council told The Straits Times that a pest control technician from Clean Solutions had been culling pigeons at the time the dog died.
Meanwhile, Tiger's owners said they feared children playing nearby could touch the bread and get poison on their hands.
"Do they really want a human life taken before they do something?" asked Mr Chan's wife, Regine, 32.
