You’re welcome, auntiem! Even radio reports aren’t complete. Better to rely on users, eh?

Looks like we really need a better drainage system.

welcome to uniquely singapore!


Nx time can use sampan, ERP won’t charge.

Hope it doesn't happen on National Day or during YOG.. ... will be terribly 'throw face'!

Bukit Timah has been known to be a flood zone, once the rain starts to pour but to think that it can cause flash floods, that’s new. Since the 1st incident in June, I wonder if PUB is doing anything more with the present drainage system. Pity the residents who park in the basement carpark of Coronation Plaza and condos around here.


Hopefully when parents register their kids on Thur, they won’t be held back by the floods at the gates of Nanyang.

Sent my dd to sch this morning and saw a big tree uprooted and had its crown in the monsoon drain… Nearly blocking the monsoon drain… If the next freak rain comes down, it’ll flood even earlier… The roots are in the hostel…

with most of the drains now covered up, they can’t clear all the silt and mud accumulated in there as compared with open drain, hence it is now easier to flood as the drains have become shallower


watch it those around jalan haji alias … they are covering up the big drain there…worse floods will come

[MMM]

Maybe it’s a good idea to invest in a sampan.

saw a jam at coronation last sat morning without realising there was a flood. went towards nanyang as I was heading to clementi. Jln Haji Alias looks clear....perhaps that area is on higher ground....not sure. then again, there r alot of ministers in that area so think they will not let it happen!!
