Flood @ Orchard, Newton, Bukit Timah, Cantonment Road

[Way2GO]

ChiefKiasu:

Honestly, Way2GO, I don't think any of our Ministers are plumbers or civil engineers. That \"fact\" must have been told to them by some resident experts in the civil service. If anything, it is those experts that will be spending lots of sleepless nights each time it rains, for having said the wrong thing.

Dr. Yaacob Ibrahim, Minister for Environment & water Resources,
was a practicing structural engineer bf
receiving his PhD and previously taught at NUS.

Mr Tan Gee Paw, PUB chairman was the sole recipient
of the highest National Day award (DARJAH UTAMA BAKTI CEMERLANG)
this year and was headlined in ST.
IMHO, the timing and headlining of this award broadcast
a msg dat PUB is faultless in its job execution.

Why after ascribing the floods to a choked culvert,
unexpected heavy rains, freak 50 year occurrence, Typhoon Conson etc,
and the explanations being turned on its head by repeated floods,
is there silence from the Ministry?
Dis gahmen n civil service have always prided themselves
on planning ahead. Wat gives now?
If it is a temporary situation dat will pass, why not just say so?
If there is miscalculation in urban planning, why not say so
n let d ppl know when d infrastructure will be up?
Why d Minister is so quiet on dis issue?

Just love the general action that is taken.


After the spate of trees falling, I noticed that all of a sudden, trees in Singapore all started sporting new haircuts…in some cases cut until like nsmen like that.

Where we live on Thomson/Upper Thomson Road, some of the old trees now look so bare and sad. It used to be a very nice drive with a very lush view
