Transport minister Chee Hong Tat said it will take time to complete full investigations into the oil spill involving two ships, which occurred on Friday.
He said preliminary findings show that the incident was not due to port congestion, but was instead caused by the sudden loss of engine and steering controls on one of the ships. Authorities have been working to clean up the oil spill , but they said the oil is currently drifting at six kilometres an hour, which makes keeping track of it a problem. Nicolas Ng reports.
