SINGAPORE: A security guard has gone missing at Robertson Quay near the Singapore River.

Colleagues believe the Malaysian man, whom police named as Saran Saunthara Pandian, was trying to help a woman.

Authorities found the man's shoes and walkie-talkie on the river bank at around 2am on Friday.

Colleagues said he was a good worker, but did not know how to swim.

Police called off the search after 14 hours. No bodies have been found and the police are still investigating.

Colleagues said Saran, who worked in the area, had been responding to a call for help.

Shismaan, a security guard, said: "I heard from another security guard, he said someone asked him for help... Then he went down to help the lady. Then after that, I don't know what happened." - CNA/vm
