[Bystander50]

I smell a very strong smell of kerosene over at Sengkang area.

 

Could it be another ship collision or some chemical storage tank over at Pasir Gudang hit by lightning during the afternoon rain?

There's a CBRE unit in the northeast, wonder they they are not activated to investigate the source of the smell and this is happening behind their doorstep.

Peacetime can use to test their operational readiness.

I suggest the authority check the wafers fabs................

1) Maybe Aircraft dump fuel, should check if any commercial make emergency landing. Or large aircraft dump fuel before landing to reduce weight thus to meet the required runway distance while doing circuit.

 

We have Seletar Aiport, Paya Lebar AB and Changi Airport in the vicinity too. These area all happened to be fall within the these airfields circuit pattern.

 

The wind is from northeast, so these area get the smell 1st before other areas.

 

2) From the North

Chemical-like smell engulfs several parts of S'pore

By Lynda Hong | Posted: 29 November 2010 1901 hrs

 

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.

 

"I was at the CC (community centre) just now, and from there it was very smelly. When I came back, the smell was also in my house. So it was everywhere," said Sengkang resident Zuraidah Mohd.

 

The online community was also abuzz with discussions about the stink in the northeast of Singapore.

 

Many posted comments on Channel Newsasia's Singapore Tonight facebook page.

 

MediaCorp also received hotline calls from residents in Hougang and even Ang Mo Kio.

 

Some told ChannelNewsAsia that this was unlike the haze.

 

"The smell was too strong... I felt like throwing up," said Ang Mo Kio resident Ishent Kaur.

 

Police advised the public not to be alarmed and to wait for further updates from the NEA.
