SINGAPORE – Tour operator Kayakasia founder Sim Cher Huey had returned to shore after a four-hour kayak outing off the coast of Sentosa just before noon on Sunday, when he found out his friend had gone missing at sea.
MPA has also issued a navigation broadcast to ships in the area to report any sighting of a person in distress, a spokesman said. Mr Sim said: “I was told a male kayaker had capsized first, and she was trying to help him but she, too, capsized. Both of them were then swept under the currents.”Mr Sim then decided to send his tour group back to Tanjong Beach with an assistant guide, and sought permission from MPA to join the search operation.
After about 90 minutes, they were asked to return to shore while the authorities continued the search.
