Ubin Oil Spill - Executive Decisions

Part 3 - Executive Decisions
Pulau Ubin
East, Singapore
May 2010

On arrival at Chek Jawa, the NParks personnel were very clear with their directions - Even though 90-95% of the oil spill was contained, any remaining oil could still cause a significant ecological impact to the fragile ecosystems of Chek Jawa. All efforts must be made to clean up what had already hit the shores.

Headed by good management...




Listening to the clear directions...




Instructions given at the top were translated and propagated downwards…



Preparing for the long day ahead...

The workers were divided into teams of 30/40 each and assigned to different areas. As it was near mid-tide, they would be working on the mangroves first.

Heigh-ho, heigh-ho...
