Singapore may consistently be ranked as one of the top few safest countries in the world, but it seems that the nation’s still susceptible to hidden crime.
On 9 November, netizens claimed to have witnessed numerous police cars, and a fire engine, situated along the Kallang River bridge.
The reason behind the situation was not clear.

However, it appears that there has been an update.
And as it turns out, the reason’s every bit as morbid as some of us have previously speculated.
Well, maybe even more morbid than that.
Human Remains Found Under Kallang River Bridge; Police Currently Investigating
According to Lianhe Wanbao, Kallang River bridge has come under scrutiny after a migrant worker reportedly found human remains in the area.
Apparently, he found scattered bones buried under the bridge – ones that are believed to be of human origin.
The workers then alerted the police.
As of today (10 November), police investigations appear to be underway.
Police cars were reportedly parked at the bridge until around 9:00 p.m. on 9 November.

The location is projected to be right in front of Block 63-67 Kallang Bahru.
Speculations
According to various reports, the death does not seem to be recent, as only bones were found.
In response to Mothership’s queries, the police confirmed that they were alerted to the news at around 5:30 p.m. on 9 November.
Despite the grisly nature of the discovery, preliminary investigations reportedly do not suspect foul play.
Previous Instance
In July 2020, human remains were found near the spot where Goh Heng Yi, a 23-year-old Singaporean student, was swept into the ocean in Western Australia.

DNA samples from Goh’s family members were subsequently extracted to ascertain the remains’ purported identity.
The economics student at the University of West Australia had visited Injidup Nature Spa – a natural rock pool formation – for photo-taking in June, when he was dragged off the rocks by a wave.
Despite getting back to safety, he was swept off into the ocean again by a second wave.
He did not manage to make it back.
A search was then launched to locate Goh, but it was halted on 3 July due to dangerous conditions.
