Poor upkeep of lifebuoys;
one of the tagline was
tangled up and left on the
decking.

Life-saving equipment
must always be in
operational-ready

Such entanglement affects
the response time of
rescuing a drowning
person, which is very
crucial.

ensures the safety of
public by preventing them

would be better to have
railings fitted with swing
gates to provide safe
access for contractors
doing maintenance.
