BREAKING: ALL BEACHES In S'pore NOT SAFE For Swimming? School Holidays So Please Read

There have been too many drownings. Another one at East Coast yesterday.

Also incident where US nuclear submarine leaked nuclear waste in S'pore waters.

Let's examined the beaches concerned.

• East Coast Beach: Have anyone noticed how dirty the waters are. If you feet touches the bottom, it's sludge and not sand. Next time walk along the East Coast Parkway Beach and count the numbers of DRAIN pipes leading into the sea. You will be shocked, let alone want to swim there.
• Pasir Ris Beach: Too close to nuclear leak area. Also Pasir Ris Beach have been closed for swimming because water there is deemed 'dirty' to the core? Nuclear core maybe? Too close to Johor where the factories also dump toxic waste. I won't even eat the fish there let alone swim?
• Sentosa Beaches: How many beaches on Sentosa can one really swim in? Only the netted areas. Even those areas, once you step in the water, it is also SLUDGE at the bottom. Also, many poisionese Stone Fishes. Many drownings there as well owing to DANGEROUS under CURRENTS. May also be supernatural presence due to numerous Japanese massacre in WW2 resulting in island being called Pulau Balakang Mati or "The Island Of Death". Name was changed to Sentosa (Isle Of Peace) in early 70's for TOURISM purposes and also to appease the dead there.
  
• Changi Beach: Very strong currents and also close to nuclear leak site. Bottom is filled with sharp rocks. Very choppy waters. Extremely dangerous even for strong swimmers. certain beaches there site of Japanese massacre in WW2.
• West Coast: I would not even dare venture into the waters there let alone swim.

If anyone else can add on your experiences on the beaches and waters around our Island, please do so and be informative.

Funny how Sentosa is touted as 1st CLASS, World CLASS Living; but the 'poor' residents there don't have their own beaches to swim in.
Even though they are living close to the water's edge, they cannot swim there are as there are NO BEACHES but only large granite boulders leading into the sea.
Can you believe this? Can see but cannot touch. Very 'pitiful'. WORLD CLASS LIVING indeed.

Eventually, nothing is free for swimming now. Must swim at one of the paid-to-enter swimming pool.

Safety aside, there is the question of the hygiene level of the beaches

Only stupid Sinkies will swim in dirty Sinkapore beaches. Pls la... go pay some money and go Bintan if u cannot afford Maldives!

A TEENAGER who waded into a closed-off section of the sea off East Coast Park to retrieve a ball that was floating in the water is feared to have drowned last night. The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF), navy divers as well as patrol boats from the Police Coast Guard and the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore continued searching the sea late into the night, but did not find Mr Mohammed Nazim Ismail, 18. The spot where he disappeared is near a bicycle kiosk around Marine Cove, a stretch which houses popular eateries such as fast-food chain McDonald's. The stretch of beach is cordoned off with orange netting for repair works. About 50 family members, including the teen's mother, who was sobbing uncontrollably and had to be supported by relatives, kept vigil at the beach last night, praying that he would be found alive. Mr Mohammed Nazim was at the beach from about 2pm with a friend and the friend's family for a picnic, said the teenager's cousin. He went into the water to retrieve the white plastic ball but disappeared, the cousin said. The spot where he was last seen was near a breakwater, about 20m from the shore, said the SCDF.

No need to go to the obvious. Malaysia, thailand , Indonesia, Vietnam, Philippines, even HK have nice natural beaches which S'pore does not have.

Yet places like HK do not boast they are WORLD CLASS or 1st CLASS although we all know they are, and are ahead of S'pore in everyway, including food and services.
