Eagle-Ladybird:
Talking about the \"hair-cuts\" - this is where I appreciate the Govt for its commitment to the Garden City. The amount of effort, manpower and resource to upkeep the country to what it is today, still amazes me !
however the outsourcing of plant maintenance could have been better managed; c'mon it is not rocket science -
alamak, the sky is dark again
raining soon -
in fact it’s very heavy around north east area…think pub fully activated now!

:!: :!: its raining extremely heavy and for quite long here too in Central :roll: -
I could not believe my eyes one nite on my way home from airport, well past 1am, the workers were still opening the road-kerb drain covers to dig for debris and pile and pile of dried leaves and what not in black trash bags were lining up along the whole stretch of road … looks like kind of emergency operation through the nite to clear the drain before any heavy downpour …
That makes me suspect that my suspicion about the cause of flash flood is right…simply due to lack of maintenance and upkeep
once in 50 years they forgot about the maintenance and upkeep … -

Heard that Shenton and Raffles Place had super bad jam earlier due to the heavy rains and some parts were a bit flooded. My friend's house in siglap also got flooded, 3rd time in a few months!
Yeah Shenton way more on Tanjong pagar side... maybe now Raffles Place :shock: -

I hv witnessed a road sweeper (foreign worker) in our BP estate sweeping whatever rubbish into drains. It wouldn't come as a surprise clogged drains are part of their doing.I could not believe my eyes one nite on my way home from airport, well past 1am, the workers were still opening the road-kerb drain covers to dig for debris and pile and pile of dried leaves and what not in black trash bags were lining up along the whole stretch of road ..... looks like kind of emergency operation through the nite to clear the drain before any heavy downpour ....

I was driving along CTE this afternoon during the heavy rain and was praying hard the places I go won’t flood. Very worried when it rains like this. I don’t want my car to be stuck in a flood man…
