Chemical-like smell engulfs several parts of S'pore

SINGAPORE : MediaCorp received more than 5 calls on its hotline of a bad smell hanging over several parts of the island on Monday.

Calls were received from residents in Hougang, Sengkang, Yio Chu Kang, Ang Mo Kio and and Paya Lebar.

One caller from Yio Chu Kang described the smell as insecticide-like.

Others described it as unpleasant and chemical-like, similar to kerosene or burning rubber.

The callers also said the air looked foggy.

The National Environment Agency (NEA) said no toxic gases have been detected so far, and is continuing to monitor the air quality.

Investigations are still being carried out to find out the cause of the smell.

NEA has also contacted its Malaysian counterparts to check whether any unusual smell has been detected in Johor.

Some Sengkang residents said the chemical-like smell started from around 4pm.

"It was like the smell of oil, very heavy. Then, when I looked out of the balcony window, the whole field is full of white smoke," said Sengkang resident Lee Khar Kiang.
