The spot where the missing woman capsized was near the line of floating sea barriers.SINGAPORE – Tour operator Kayakasia founder Sim Cher Huey had returned to shore after a four-hour kayak outing off the coast of Sentosa just before noon on Sunday, when he found out his friend had gone missing at sea.
SCDF officers deployed a rescue vessel and team of divers, while MPA sent a patrol craft for the search-and-rescue mission and is coordinating efforts with the Police Coast Guard and SCDF. He added that he had just returned to shore at about 11.45am after a kayaking trip between Sentosa and the Southern Islands when a man – who was part of the missing woman’s kayaking group at sea – told him what had happened.
Mr Sim and another kayaker took their kayaks out to sea again and kept their eyes peeled at places where currents are known to flow. They also kept a lookout for items that the woman might be able to cling to – like the anchor chain of tankers or boat tyres. Mr Sim said: “It’s a spot where moving waters hit fixed objects – the blue floating drums pinned to the sea floor, known as floating sea barriers. So, if you’re in between, it’s pretty risky because you’re pinned between two objects with forces pushing against them.”
