A TEENAGER is missing and feared drowned after he slipped and fell into a canal at Potong Pasir Avenue 3 yesterday.
Mr Al-Hasif Hamid, 19, is believed to have been attempting to retrieve a soccer ball that had fallen into the canal.
But he lost his footing on the ground, made slippery from a rain storm, and fell into the water.
The police received a call at 5pm yesterday that a person had fallen into a canal.
Friends of the teenager told The Straits Times that he had been playing street soccer at a nearby street soccer court before the accident.
Muhammad Ammeraz, 16, who played street soccer with Mr Al-Hasif regularly, told The Straits Times that his friend did not know how to swim.
