Police in Singapore are handling a report after a photograph of a purported crocodile sighting at Pandan Reservoir is found to be fake, following investigations by PUB. CNA reports that water activities at the reservoir are suspended for a period after PUB was alerted to a potential sighting, but the matter is later clarified.
PUB confirms, according to The Straits Times, that it investigates the image further and concludes the photograph is not genuine. After confirming the hoax, PUB lodges a police report. CNA adds that the suspension of water activities follows the initial alert, while the later finding removes the immediate basis for the concern. The outlets agree on the core timeline: an alert about a crocodile, temporary response by PUB, investigation into the image, and subsequent police action once the photo is determined to be fake.
