Kayaking accident
In Straits Times again.
The report that caught my eye this morning was the apparent drowning (he was still missing at press time) of a man at Lower Seletar Reservoir.
Mr Burhan and his wife, who got married one year ago, had rented a double seater sit-on-top kayak from the rental operator. They capsized. Mr Burhan helped his wife onto the kayak, then encountered diffficulty and sank into the water.
His wife said he is a strong swimmer and loves water sports.
It was reported that "his PFD had apparently loosened and was found floating".
I am sad - and angry.

Unfortunately for Mr Burhan, he was found drown the next day. And in a strange twist, another body of an old woman was found in the same area.
Did he not secure the PFD? His wife reported that his PFD came loose after he pushed her up the kayak.
