A Dominica-flagged supply vessel, Ocean Cooper 2, had capsized and sunk in the westbound lane of the Traffic Separation Scheme, about 3 nautical miles from Pedra Branca within Singapore Territorial Waters in the Singapore Strait.

The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) said in a press release that it received the report regarding the incident at about 7.15 am on Thursday (14 February).

According to the authority, all three Indonesian crew, earlier rescued by a nearby accompanying supply vessel, Jolly Rachel, are all safe.

Fortunately, there was no oil pollution or injury reported.

MPA stated that it has issued navigational broadcasts asking ships to navigate with caution in the vicinity of the incident and has deployed a craft to conduct a hydrographic survey of the wreck.

Traffic in the Singapore Strait remains unaffected and the MPA is investigating the incident.

The incident happened in less than a week after the collision between Greece-registered ship Pireas and Malaysian buoy-laying vessel Polaris as the former was making its way from Singapore to Tanjung Pelepas in Malaysia.

【选举】专家预测行动党得票破七成 贝理安冀选民正视权力制衡

工人党阿裕尼集选区准候选人贝理安,在昨日分享《联合晚报》剪报。有关誌期本月24日的报导,指专家预测执政党在此次选举得票率,有望破七成,甚至于能突破75巴仙。 报导提及每逢危机的不确定笼罩,执政党得票率都超高;再者疫情下第四代领导班子的曝光率也较高。新加坡管理学院全球教育兼职讲师陈添金博士称,人们在危机中担心生计,会希望执政团队强力领导。 而贝理安估计,即使是很弱的候选人,只要跟随曝光率高的行动党部长都能在集选区获胜。他也指出,2001年美国发生911空袭事件不久后,我国也召开选举,行动党得票75.3巴仙。当时反对党中只有刘程强和詹时中党选,得票率仅超过50巴仙。 贝理安称,行动党决定选举时机。但是在野党可以掌控的,就是在国会中的斗争,包括提出关乎人民的课题、替代方案以及接触选民的基层工作,这都是工人党在选举前就致力的工作。 然而,贝理安也希望,珍视权力制衡、对政府问责和多元意见,且认为强大反对党有利国家的新加坡人,能在此次选举扮演他们的角色,确保这些价值观能融入国家的氛围。
