Search for upper body called off temporarily

I feel the need to address this. Firstly, the water in the reservoir is unprocessed. So the water will go through treatment plants before entering the water tanks at ur residential/work areas. Secondly, if this is a concern, then we shouldnt be drinking water at all because the reservoirs themselves are open catchment areas with fish, terrapins and other animals living off it and in them. These animals will also die off naturally and decompose in the reservoirs. So technically, you have been drinking water from these reservoirs for years! There is nothing to worry about! The only concern we should have is who is the victim, what and who killed him/her.

Crime rate is up, regardless of which country. Therefore instead of concentrating on commenting which nation is bad or otherwise, better concentrate on how to educate the young ones and apprehend the criminals fast.

better check properly,it might be a crocodile in the water.

I'm really worried about the crime rate these days...We seem to have more such things now than ever before.

The Singapore I was raised in, is not the Singapore of today. I don't totally blame foreigners, but that's a contributing factor. I don't totally blame the youth of today, but that's definitely a contributing factor- parents and lack of parenting, another factor. Internet influences, yet another factor. It's sad but I have to wonder what the next 5 or 10 years holds for this country. I only see it getting worse.

Lately body found in HDB water tank, now in reservoir...

the body had been decomposed to a stage whereby it is impossible to see if the corpse is a male or female, and yet people here are just wondering whether the water from the reservoir is safe to drink or not.

come on people, water from reservoir get treated from water plants, we dont drink it directly.

I don't know whether to find it hilarious that people are concentrating on the hygiene of the water from the reservoir instead of the heinous murderer that chopped the body into half, or to feel sad that my country people do not care about whatever that is happening outside and caring only for themselves.

Singapore police man should carry out street patronizing by walking around and not by driving around. I have to Hong Kong several times, look at how Hong Kong Police man carry out their duties. In fact, i seldom saw any policeman or traffic police except when some accident or some incident happened. Sometimes i wander where were the police man, are they patronizing the MP places and MP houses only or they have sit in their office waiting for calls. Sad!

is there lots of insurance covered for him... mmmmmm ask his father

All Neighbourhood Police post closes at night.. best...best. come back tomolo afternoon

Why there is no Park Ranger going around to check? I do not understand, they can hire someones to summon the cars that park overnight at the car park but cannot hire someones to check the reservivor. I know, checking on car can make money but checking on decompose body is wasting money. Sad to see Singapore is getting from bad to worse.

Stupid comments. The reservoir case and the Woodlands case is entirely different. The water in Bedok Reservoir as well as other reservoirs must be treated first before they are safe for drinking. Let the PUB do the job. They know what to do and no need for everyone to pass all sorts of silly comments. Do you know Sri Lankan crabs eat dead bodies?

Please unserstand the water treatment procedure before givng nusty comment.

The water from the reservoir still need to do treatment before it can be consumed.

As a typical Singaporean, maybe we should have a campaign to encourage Singaporeans to read more- improve our general knowledge, improve our sense of empathy and stop blaming government or God for everything gone wrong.

Sad,very sad for you all,someone was just murdered and all you can think of is the drinking water.Have u singaporean 'Lost It".Or perhaps, u are not from this planet.Sigh....

Feel that more Foreigners more Crime now a days in S'pore.....

It must be very sad to have lost a love one in an other land and not seeing them comes back home.
My condolence to the family.

Dear all, please allow me to tell a short story: just not too long ago, when I was waiting for the mrt train, a young Indian race 4 year old toddler suddenly shaked his little hand off his mother and dashed forward beyong yellow line... I quickly helped to stop him and gave him back to his mother. Standing next to me was a young malay guy who said, "ah la mah, if that kid fell into the mrt track, it will delay the flow of mrt and I would be late for work". He further blamed the toddler's mother for not holding her kid tight. Haizzz.. lets pray for the victim who die in / being transfer to Bedok Reservoir.

Low Crime is not No Crime! It is sad to hear someone died in such a state. Hope the forensic experts can identify him/her so his/her family can bring the soul to peace. I haven't been to Bedok Reservoir, but I did see twice a hugh (at least 3m long) monitor lizard/crocodile at McRitchie Reservoir when I was strolling along the board walk in the past 2 years.

I hope his/her identity is established....at least there will be closure for anguished kin.
