SINGAPORE - The police are trying to establish the identity of the person reportedly seen inside a covered drain along a footpath in Hume Avenue on Thursday morning (May 25). According to a report by Chinese-language daily Shin Min Daily News, a resident living nearby called the police after he saw a man in the drain with a torchlight and dressed only in his underwear. Photos of the incident show more than 10 police cars, around 30 police officers and a number of Gurkhas deployed to search for the man. Shin Min said the search efforts took more than five hours.
