"The public is advised to be careful in the Siak river, if you don't need to go to the cliff, you don't have to because it is dangerous," he said.
Previously, Grandma Ring fell into the Siak River with her bicycle on the bank known as Turap Singapura, in front of the Hock Siu Kiong Temple.
The incident was initially discovered by a resident who was fishing at the scene. Witness Abeng admitted that he heard the rush of water, but with his back to the river.
But he admits to seeing Ring under the rim of the sheet pile without riding a bicycle.
After a while falling into the river, the victim's hat and sandals were seen floating in the river. While the bicycle can be pulled with a hook, the grandmother's whereabouts were unknown until she was found.
