Chee shared with SAYS that he discovered the infestation while he was on his daily walk around the riverside
The avid photographer said he often takes the same route but he had never seen the cockroaches until his evening "photo walk" on Monday, 29 March.
"In my opinion, due to the rain, the cockroaches' home floods. So they come up awhile. I think they will go back to their home after a few days."
He added that he only realised the cockroaches after seeing two men fishing by the river, with one of them fanning away cockroaches at his neck.
"I continued to walk towards my car, and that is when I saw the pillars and went 'Oh my God! It is crawling with them!'"
