Photo of reported crocodile sighting at Pandan Reservoir found to be fake; police report lodged: PUB
Water activities at the reservoir were suspended a day earlier after PUB was alerted to a potential sighting.
On Thursday, the Singapore Rowing Association and Singapore Canoe Federation were instructed to suspend all water activities at Pandan Reservoir following an alleged crocodile sighting. The national water agency PUB was alerted to the potential incident a day before the suspension. PUB confirmed on Friday that the photograph used as evidence for the sighting was not authentic.
A police report has been lodged, and search operations for the reptile have been halted. Water activities at the reservoir resumed on Saturday. PUB takes false information that could cause public distress and disrupt activities very seriously.
