3 Men Fish In Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve Despite Crocodile Warnings
Most of us would react to a crocodile warning by staying as far away as possible from the site. However, some might surprisingly throw caution to the wind.
On Sunday (15 May), three men were seen standing in the waters at Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve, apparently fishing.
When they were warned about crocodiles in the area, they allegedly replied that they already knew about them.

However, in the background of the photo, the silhouettes of three men could be seen standing in the water.
The OP also included a video that quite clearly showed an actual crocodile in the waters, after which the camera then panned to the three men.

According to his caption, someone had shouted “crocodiles!” at them to warn them about the creatures.
However, one of the men allegedly replied, “We know.”
An unnecessary risk
Fishing at Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve is not only illegal but also highly dangerous.
