Dead fish in Pasir Ris: Not water contamination, says NEA

Ref: Thousands of dead fish seen at Pasir Ris

The mystery of how thousands of dead fish were washed ashore on Pasir Ris beach and along Sungei Api Api has not been solved, but at least it has nothing to do with the water.

The National Environment Agency (NEA) has ruled out water contamination as the cause of their deaths. It said on Wednesday that it analysed water samples from the area and did not detect any irregularities. There was also no discharge of toxic chemicals or pollutants into Sungei Api Api on Tuesday.

Pasir Ris beach remains open to the public and the NEA said people can use it for recreational activities.

The agency will continue to take water samples and monitor the water quality in the area.
