Crocodile spotted in waters off Sentosa, water activities at beaches halted

“Members of the public are advised to adhere strictly to safety signages and instructions on the ground,” SDC said, adding that the safety and well-being of guests are its top priority.

This is the second reported crocodile sighting around Sentosa’s waters this year, following the first sighting in late January.

Water activities were similarly suspended following that sighting at Sentosa Cove, before being lifted slightly over a week later.

Another crocodile sighting was reported at Keppel Bay last week, leading NParks to place advisory signs in the vicinity to warn the public to exercise caution near the water’s edge.

Members of the public are advised to stay calm and back away slowly should they encounter a crocodile, and not approach, provoke or feed the animal.

The public may also contact NParks at 1800-476-1600 to report any encounters.
