Minister Grace Fu said the immediate focus is to stop the oil spill from spreading inwards.
In a Facebook post on June 20, Minister for Sustainability and the Environment Grace Fu said she had visited Sentosa to observe the ongoing cleanup process, which “involves a lot of hard work”.
“In addition, we also need to clean the oil off rock bunds and breakwaters near beaches,” Ms Fu said, adding that the rock bunds are not as accessible as beach shorelines and their surfaces are uneven. “We therefore seek the public’s patience and understanding that more time is needed for the cleanup work along the beachfronts. Before reopening, we also need to ensure that water quality is within safe levels,” the minister said.
