SINGAPORE, Oct 20 \u2014 The national water agency PUB is investigating after two youths were allegedly seen fishing in the waters near Marina Bay Sands (MBS).<\/p>\n
In a video shared on TikTok on Friday (Oct 16), one of the youths is seen reeling in a fishing rod in front of the Louis Vuitton Island store at MBS.<\/p>\n
He can also be heard seeking assistance from his companion as he pulls the fish out of the water.<\/p>\n
In the comments section, several netizens questioned the youths\u2019 actions, noting that fishing is not permitted in the area.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s illegal to fish at Marina Bay water catchment area!\u201d one user commented.<\/p>\n
\u201cPlease release the fish back,\u201d another added.<\/p>\n
Responding to queries from AsiaOne, PUB said it is investigating the incident and reiterated that fishing is permitted only at designated areas within 15 reservoirs and waterways across Singapore.<\/p>\n
The waters in front of Marina Bay Sands are not among the designated fishing areas listed by PUB.<\/p>\n
The agency said fishing areas are designated based on several considerations, including the safety of anglers, the safety of other reservoir users, public accessibility and PUB\u2019s operational requirements.<\/p>\n
Those caught fishing outside designated fishing areas may receive warning letters or composition fines for a first offence.<\/p>\n
Repeat offenders may be prosecuted in court and fined up to S$3,000 (RM9,573). \u2014 AsiaOne<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
