A young woman was allegedly raped at a Sentosa beach last weekend.
The police received a distress call at 2.25am on Sunday morning (6 May).
An Indian national working as a part-time lifeguard at Sentosa was arrested at the scene.
The alleged rape is believed to have taken place at a beach pavilion not far from a party that was taking place at Siloso Beach.
Sentosa Leisure Group deputy director of communications Suzanne Ho said that the man is a part-time worker who had ended his work for the day.
It is understood that his responsibilities include patrolling the beaches and handling its daily operations.
Ms Ho added that the man had joined the company only last month and was scheduled for work only on an ad-hoc basis.
The suspect is now being detained while an investigation is being carried out.
