Many missing cases are resolved as they involve people last seen on land, but cases at sea are much trickier to navigate.

Police, the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA), and Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) are currently searching for a 41-year-old man.

The Straits Times (ST) reports that the man was snorkelling alone near the Sisters’ Islands Marine Park on 6 Dec.

She said he’d been missing for 4 hours.

Police received a call for assistance at 12.40pm, who then, according to the visitor, searched for the man in both the waters and on land.

They didn’t manage to find the man that day.

Authorities looking for missing man

Police said that along with the MPA and SCDF, they are on a search and rescue mission to look for the missing man on and near the Sisters’ Islands.
