SINGAPORE: Singapore's national water agency PUB is appealing for information on two boys who were filmed fishing illegally at Merlion Park in the Marina Bay area.
In a short video posted on the SBS - Sure Boh Singapore Facebook page on Thursday (Sep 6), two boys who look to be in their teens are seen reeling in what appeared to be a huge peacock bass.

PUB left a comment on the Facebook post on Friday morning, saying that it is illegal to fish at Merlion Park.
The agency later said on its own Facebook page that it is investigating the incident.
