Water activities at Pandan Reservoir remain suspended while national water agency PUB and wildlife authorities search for a crocodile reportedly sighted in the area. The sighting prompted immediate public safety measures around the freshwater storage facility, restricting recreational access as operations to locate the animal continue.

Water Activities Suspended at Reservoir

PUB announced the suspension of all water activities at Pandan Reservoir following the reported reptile sighting. According to the agency, the temporary halt affects local boating and water sports groups that routinely use the facility. Staff on site are monitoring the perimeter and working alongside wildlife management personnel to scan the expansive reservoir waters. Public access to certain recreational zones near the banks has been cordoned off to prevent visitors from approaching the water’s edge while search teams deploy detection equipment and patrols.

Wildlife Authorities Deploy Search Operations

Wildlife management specialists joined PUB officers at the scene to assess the validity of the sighting and determine the species and size of the animal. Observers equipped with binoculars and watercraft are surveying the reservoir margins and surrounding vegetation. Agencies have not yet confirmed a capture or a definitive second sighting since the initial alert was logged, leaving the search ongoing as teams comb the perimeter and evaluate water conditions.
