\u201cSIGNS ARE SO SMALL\u201d<\/p>\n
At Tanjong Beach, most visitors followed the rules and did not venture into the water. Some children were at the shoreline dipping their toes or collecting water to build sandcastles.<\/p>\n
Tanjong Beach Club was also bustling despite the restrictions.<\/p>\n
One visitor, who only wanted to be known as Ms Sofia, said she did not realise the measures were in place.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe signs are so small, I didn\u2019t even realise they were there,\u201d she said, adding that she did not intend to go in the water.<\/p>\n
The signs on the beach were about 80m to 100m apart.<\/p>\n
Another visitor, 33-year-old Beatrice, said the signs were too far apart and that she thought it was acceptable to go closer to the water in the areas between them.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s good that this is being taken very seriously, especially with so many children coming to the beach on the weekend,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Her sentiments were shared by 32-year-old Mr Ting, who said similar measures had been taken during jellyfish sightings.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey took that very seriously, and this should be treated with the same caution,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn the last two hours that I\u2019ve been here, most people seem to be abiding by the rules or backing away when approached by the lifeguards.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cSIGNS ARE SO SMALL\u201d At Tanjong Beach, most visitors followed the rules and did not venture into the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":264061,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[26],"tags":[8166,111,139,69,147,150962,150963,406],"class_list":{"0":"post-264060","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-wildlife","8":"tag-crocodile","9":"tag-new-zealand","10":"tag-newzealand","11":"tag-nz","12":"tag-science","13":"tag-sentosa","14":"tag-sentosa-cove","15":"tag-wildlife"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/264060","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=264060"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/264060\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/264061"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=264060"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=264060"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=264060"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
