A 41-year-old woman found herself desperately clinging to a floating sea barrier after her kayak overturned – suffering cuts to her face, arms and legs – near Sentosa Cove on Monday (May 31).
Chen Geng Xin – who has been kayaking recreationally for 20 years – and her husband originally embarked on a guided Southern Islands kayaking tour with eco-adventure company Kayakasia, as reported in The Straits Times.
The tour group numbered seven kayakers and one guide in four double kayaks, and all were armed with personal floatation devices (PFD).
However, at around 8.05am, one of the inflatable kayaks capsized. Kayakers on another double kayak tried to assist but they too fell into the water near the floating sea barrier off Sentosa Cove.
Details of the incident were shared by the force in a release on June 1, 2021.
Out at hotel pool with friends
The officer, Sergeant Al Asyraf Bin Azman, was out with his friends that day for a swim at a hotel.
The ground response force officer from Nanyang Neighbourhood Police Centre in Jurong West was dipping his legs in the water when he spotted a pink object beneath the waters’ surface.
The object was visibly still for seven to 10 seconds.
Curious that the object remained submerged, he decided to have a closer look.
Upon inspecting the object, Al Asyraf was shocked to see a motionless toddler in her pink swimsuit at the bottom of the pool.
