Tyreboy Neutral Newbie May 27, 2008 Share May 27, 2008 PUB clears river sludge along Robertson Quay By Jinny Koh, TODAY | Posted: 27 May 2008 0952 hrs Photos 1 of 1 SINGAPORE: The air along Robertson Quay has finally been cleared. And the source of the offending stench a 1m-thick layer of sludge lining the bed of the Singapore River has been removed, giving the area a breath of fresh air. The years of muck that lined a 50m stretch of riverbed could have been due to dead leaves, litter and silt discharged from nearby worksites, especially after rain, said a PUB officer during a media briefing at the quayside on Monday.

Gh05tss Neutral Newbie May 28, 2008 Share May 28, 2008 (edited) Guess he did not google or check out from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia what our Singapore River means - The Singapore River is a small river in Singapore with great historical importance. The Singapore River flows from the Central Area, which lies in the Central Region in the southern part of Singapore before emptying into the ocean. The immediate upper watershed of the Singapore River is known as the Singapore River Planning Area, although the northernmost part of the watershed becomes River Valley. As the Central Area is treated as a central business district, nearly all land surrounding it is commercial. It is one of about 90 rivers in Singapore and its islands. Geography The Singapore river is 11 km long from its source at Kim Seng Bridge, but the waterway extends, as Alexandra Canal, as far as the junction of Commonwealth Avenue. Here there is a break until North Buona Vista Road where Sungei Ulu Pandan starts and flows into Sungei Pandan which in turn flows into the sea at West Coast Park. Thus, the source of both these waterways is in the Queenstown, Ridout Road Estate and Tanglin Halt area near Margaret Drive. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singapore_River Edited May 28, 2008 by Gh05tss Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoonz 4th Gear May 29, 2008 Share May 29, 2008 I'm surprised that the last time they ever cleaned up this long kang was quite long ago... Since this long kang runs through the very heart of the town and itself is a tourist spot, it should be regularly maintained right? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
