Written Reply to Parliamentary Question on Recreational Fishing by Ms Grace Fu, Minister for Sustainability and the Environment.

Question:

Mr Cai Yinzhou: To ask the Minister for Sustainability and the Environment to enhance recreational fishing access for children and families, whether the Ministry will consider (i) opening additional temporary fishing sites during school holidays along waterways such as ABC Waters @ Lorong 8 Toa Payoh and (ii) piloting rod rental or family fishing programmes in designated fishing locations with higher utilisation.

Answer:

The named location will see a large volume of water flowing at high velocity during heavy rain. It is not suitable for the suggested recreational use from a safety standpoint.
