SINGAPORE: Over 71,000kg of oil-soaked sand has been scooped up at the three Sentosa beaches since Saturday (June 15), a day after 400 tonnes of fuel were leaked into the sea from a damaged bunker vessel at Pasir Panjang Terminal.

In a Facebook post on Thursday (June 20), Minister for Sustainability and the Environment Grace Fu said she had visited Sentosa to observe the ongoing cleanup process, which “involves a lot of hard work”.
