    Default Bedok Reservoir residents worried about impact of deaths

    In the last four months, four bodies have been retrieved from Bedok Reservoir and some residents in the area are wondering if more can be done to prevent future occurrences.

    Their concerns ranged from the slippery slopes at the park to the impact of these deaths on their property prices, according to residents Yahoo! Singapore spoke to.

    The latest case was on Monday, where the Singapore Civil Defence Force retrieved the body of an Indian man who had walked into the reservoir on his own on 8 Oct and refused help from people. The man disappeared into the water and was not found until the morning of 10 October.
    A clerk in her 50s, who wanted to be known as Say, said she was more concerned about the people affected by the deaths than park safety.
    “But I believe the park can be quite dangerous as it has many slopes. If you slip on the rocky paths, you may just fall into the reservoir,” she added.

    Say suggested NParks can consider building barricades around the water body at Bedok Reservoir or step up the frequency of patrols by park rangers.

    Some residents have highlighted concerns that the deaths might affect property prices around the area. Property surrounding the reservoir has been largely marketed as waterfront living.
    Aida, 23, said potential homebuyers might feel the area could be “dirty”, given the spate of deaths. The nurse added that it is frustrating to have so many deaths at the reservoir and it may tarnish the impression and reputation of Bedok Reservoir.

    A taxi driver, who declined to name himself, said the area around the reservoir used to be a populated Malay village. "There could be lurking spirits there," he speculated.
    However, in spite of their concerns, none of the six residents Yahoo! Singapore spoke to were worried about the quality of water supplied to their homes.
    A 72-year-old retiree Tan said she is not worried because news reports have explained that the water will be treated before it is supplied to homes.

    Another resident, Chin, who lives 100 metres from the reservoir, felt additional measures wouldn't help to prevent similar cases from happening in the future.
    "The recent cases are suicide cases,not accidents," he pointed out, noting that patrols and barricades can only help so much if the death is intentional.

    "If people wish to end their life by drowning themselves at beaches, are we going to barricade the seashore?" he wondered.
    Since the highly decomposed lower body of Lin Xiao, 23, had been found at Bedok Resevoir on 20 June, two other bodies had been found. The cause of Lin Xiao’s death is not yet known and his upper body is still missing.
    The bodies of mother and son, 32-year-old Tan Sze Sze and 3-year-old Jerald Chin Le Hui was found on 22 Sept. Tan is believed to have committed suicide with her young son at the reservoir .

    Better not go for nite jog or moonlight at night...., need neighborhood patrols, maybe setup police post and get a 24-7 life guard cum patrol boat.

    Sense that it 's going to be more popular in the future as bodies going to pile up and spirits population increases...

    Latest.

    No lake, swiming pool also can. Another sad case.

    Looks like the more we read newspapers reporting on these suicides, others facing troubles in life get the cue and feel that's the best way to end all the problems they faced.

    Default Ghostly voice of recently drowned woman heard by reporter

    Ghostly voice of recently drowned woman heard by reporter


    http://forums.asiaone.com/showthread.php?t=43641

    A reporter claims that she heard a ghostly voice belonging to the woman who drowned at Bedok Reservoir last month.

    Malaysian reporter Huang Yan Qin had been at Mandai Crematorium on 28 September to do a story on the twin-deaths that took place last month at Bedok Reservoir.

    On 22 September, 32-year-old housewife Chen Shi Shi had drowned in the reservoir with her 3-year-old son Chen Le Hui. Both died while clad in red clothes.

    It is a Chinese belief that those who die while clad in red will return as vengeful spirits.

    Huang was with several other reporters witnessing Chen's family collect the deceased's ashes when something odd happened to her.

    According to Huang, she heard a ghostly voice whisper, "I've let go".

    Huang said, "I thought I was imagining it. But when the family was placing the ashes into the urn, I heard the voice again. It was a woman's voice saying, "It's alright, I've let go".

    Huang had felt giddy the moment she arrived at the crematorium that day. When she returned to Malaysia the next day, she came down with a high fever and developed swelling around her eyes which lasted three days.

    Huang has since recovered but remains freaked out by the incident.

    According to funeral worker He Xue Li, who was also present at the crematorium, the deceased may contact those outside the family if family members are deemed too emotional to accept their message.

    Funeral worker He added, "The reporter will probably be fine. Maybe she could go make some offerings to the deceased mother-and-son pair the next time she returns to Singapore."

    This is not the first time the mother-and-son pair were said to be the cause of bizarre paranormal happenings.

    On 25 September, the pair were said to have returned as spirits to visit their family, leaving "footprints" in talcum powder scattered on the floor. See the story here.

    Man rescued from Bedok Reservoir wasn't trying to kill himself
    He said he was very drunk when he took a walk to the reservoir but could not recall anything after that. -AsiaOne

    The Singaporean man who was found floating in Bedok Reservoir said he was not trying to kill himself.
    The man, Mr Ng Kim Seng, 52, told The New Paper from his hospital bed that he had been drinking and could not recall how he ended up in the reservoir.
    At around 5.30pm, four canoeists spotted the man floating face up in the water.

    I should think the trees will be chopped down when they start building, so all the units facing the reservoir should have the reservoir view since this project is perched on a hill.
    I made a resolution, ie to look out of my unit daily to enjoy the serenity of the reservoir in case, in future, the whole reservoir gets surrounded by flats.

    No skypark like WFG/WFI? What a silly site plan. All 1brs all face the busy reservoir road behind yet asking for 1.3kpsf? Where is the tennis court?!
    Such a good site in the hands of such lousy architect, should have given to Cheung Kong, if Thomson Grand is here would be superb

    If you put the semi-D in front as the 1st row, at least got pocket view, and then those condos behind that clear the semi-D height also has pocket view ... wouldn't it be better that way? Unless they plan to sell low end semi-D lol

    Yet another dead body has been found in Bedok Reservoir.

    The Straits Times reported today that the police received a call at 9.15am informing them of a body in the reservoir waters.
    It is believed to be that of a Chinese male.

    He was pronounced dead at 9.45am by paramedics. The incident has been classified as unnatural death by the police, who are investigating.
    This makes it the sixth such incident in as many months.
    Former foreign minister George Yeo said on his Facebook page that it was sad another body had been discovered there.
    He had been attending a blessing of Bedok Reservoir this morning, which had been organised after the recent spate of deaths.
    An online news source said the incident happened before members of the Inter-Religious Organisation, community leaders and residents gathered at a nearby floating platform for the blessing ceremony.
