The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) is searching for a man who was last seen entering the waters of Changi Beach on Sunday (July 22).
Stomper Noraini, a logistics driver who was at the scene, contributed photos showing authorities responding to the incident.
She told Stomp: "It started from around 6pm.
"I happened to pass by and pulled over to have a closer look.
"A few families who were having picnics were being asked by the police for leads."
In response to a Stomp query, the SCDF said it was alerted to a water rescue case near Carpark 2 at Changi Beach at around 5.45pm.
"Based on information from eye witnesses, a man was last seen walking into the water and did not resurface," a spokesman told Stomp, adding that the SCDF is currently conducting an underwater search in the area.
When Lianhe Zaobao reporters visited the scene, they saw that a police cordon of around 10 metres had been set up at the beach, drawing a crowd of around 50 onlookers.
Three 'frogmen' from the Disaster Assistance and Rescue Team (DART) were dispatched to conduct the underwater search.
