It turns out that the car was an unmarked police car that had gotten into an accident.
Two people were sent to hospital as a result.
Photos posted by ROADS.sg on Facebook showed a plain white car with its front half inside a drain.
The vehicle had apparently crashed into the railing beside a pedestrian walkway before falling into the drain, right in front of a banner showing the four Jalan Besar GRC MPs wishing residents a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Another angle of the accident showed a food centre in the background.

The car in the picture was an unmarked police car, which doesn’t have the usual markings most police cars typically have, they said.
The accident involved the unmarked police car and a motorcycle, SPF added.
As a result of the accident, two people — two female car passengers aged 21 and 66 — were sent to hospital.
The 63-year-old car driver is assisting with investigations, which are ongoing.
