Clean-up Efforts for Pasir Panjang Terminal Oil Spill and Timeline for Beach Reopening

Mr Melvin Yong Yik Chye asked the Minister for Sustainability and the Environment (a) whether an update can be provided on the clean-up works arising from the oil spill at Pasir Panjang Terminal on 14 June 2024; and (b) whether the Ministry can share a timeline on when all affected beaches will be reopened for public use.

I thank the Member for his question. This question has been addressed in my reply to Parliamentary Question No 3 for Oral Answer on the Order Paper for 7 August 2024. [Please refer to "Update on Clean-up Work Following Pasir Panjang Terminal Oil Spill Incident", Official Report, 7 August 2024, Vol 95, Issue 139, Oral Answers to Questions section.]
