Have the sewer rats decided to throw their own countdown foam party (even if it’s two months early)?
Redditors were caught off guard after a fellow member shared a photo of a foam-filled canal along Upper Bukit Timah last night (Oct 27).

The layer of white foam that covered the surface of the channel was so thick that not even the rapids managed to disperse them.
According to the original poster, the thick white stripe stretched for two kilometers, although the actual source of the bubbles remained unknown.
One Redditor user, who said he was staying in the area, suspected the foam may have come from a nearby restaurant or establishment a little upstream. The other end of the canal, towards Cashew Road, had some foam too, although not as much, they added.
The matter has been reported to the National Environment Agency (NEA), the original poster read.
AsiaOne has contacted NEA and the Public Service Board (PUB) for information.
In July this year, more foamy discharge was observed floating along the Bedok Canal. One witness described the foam as “dripping and bubbling.”
In a statement on the Bedok Canal incident, PUB stressed that they have “a serious view” of the pollution of Singapore’s waterways and will not hesitate to take action against illegal discharges into public sewers and canals.
Members of the public can contact the PUB at 1800-2255-782 if they suspect any contamination in Singapore’s waterways.
