SINGAPORE: Parts of Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve will be temporarily closed following an incident in which a man and his two-year-old daughter fell into a hole in a bridge during heavy rain.
“We are currently monitoring the water levels in the reserve closely and will undertake temporary closure to sections that may be subject to intermittent flooding.”by Bucky Hussain, who described what had happened to him and his family on Monday, the second day of the Chinese New Year holidays. Immediately wrapping his arms around his daughter to"stop her from floating away", Mr Hussain said he"couldn't feel the bottom" and that if he had let go, the two of them were"going to be sucked under the bridge".
Seeing the danger the hole posed, Mr Hussain and his family stayed back a few minutes to warn others. Together with passers-by who had helped them earlier, they tried to patch the hole with some planks they had found, he said. In a comment in the post made on Wednesday, Mr Hussain said that SCDF had reached out and apologised for how the operator handled the incident.In the media statement on Wednesday, NParks said the incident had taken place at a crossing of a sluice gate. “Waters had overflowed during the peak of the spring tide coupled with heavy rain that dislodged the floor panels, exposing a gap,” said Mr Lim of NParks.
