Following from the oil spill incident on 3 April 2025, Chek Jawa Wetlands in Pulau Ubin has reopened for public access on 5 April 2025.

To prevent any further impact, we will let the oil residue at the affected areas at Chek Jawa Wetlands break down naturally, and will continue to monitor the biodiversity-sensitive areas closely.

The booms that were pre-emptively placed at Chek Jawa Wetlands will also be progressively removed.

Clean-up at Changi and Pasir Ris Beaches Ongoing - 4 April 2025
