Looks like the beach is not a safe place to be. Israeli expat Moran Zukerman discovered dozens of syringes washed ashore on Sam Pak Wan beach. One such photographed syringe is made by Shin-Estu Silicones for use in the bonding of LED lights. Moran is warning all parents and helpers to keep children off of the beach for safety reasons. Some were still walking bear footed without knowing about the dangers.

	Nice catch SgtPepper! I'm ashamed of making such a typo (bear vs. bare). D'oh!

	so this was not at the main DB beach yeah, but it does have the possibility of shifting to the main db beach if tides shift. What can DB management do ensure safety at the DB Resort beaches??

	SgtPepper, wow, that is CRAZY. Even more disturbing that fish have eaten of the medical waste, that contaminates the food chain... Bravo to Zukerman, Zimmerman, Read and Plastic Free Seas for bringing this serious matter to the government's attention. RR, I think DB Management can't do much, close off Sam Pak Wan beach? Volunteers have more manpower to clean up the beach.
