However, Ms Chew had not worn the crotch strap of the device, witnesses said, with one testifying that the strap had likely been faulty. As Ms Chew and Mr Lee were nearing a line of blue floating barriers, the latter capsized"due to the unevenness of the sea", said SI Ruzaini. The two other kayakers who were ahead of Mr Lee and Ms Chew were alerted to the incident, but they could not find the pair.
