SINGAPORE — The body of a full-time national serviceman (NSF) who went missing in Pulau Ubin while he was off duty was found on Sunday (April 16) afternoon.

The body was found in the water at Kekek Quarry, which is in the northern part of Pulau Ubin.

The Singapore Civil Defence Force said a body was seen floating in the water at about 1pm on Sunday. Rescuers who were conducting a search at the quarry retrieved the body."Based on preliminary investigations, the police do not suspect foul play," the police said, adding that investigations are ongoing.

SCDF said on Saturday night that there was no sign of the NSF after it was called to Kekek Quarry at about 2.10am on Saturday.Rescuers from the Disaster Assistance and Rescue Team also used an underwater remotely operated vehicle, which uses sonar-imaging equipment to map out underwater terrain. It reduces the risk for divers due to poor visibility. CNA
