According to a Lianhe Wanbao report yesterday, Seletar Airport was hit by flash floods on Wednesday, the 6th episode of flooding in less than two months. (read more here)
The shocking news was not reported in the English papers or the news broadcasts on Channel News Asia, Channels 5 and 8.
A reader captured the flooding and sent the photo to Lianhe Wanbao which showed flooding at the lobby of the airport with stranded passengers.
The flooding occurred at 12.30pm and it took the airport staff one hour to clear the flood water. A spokesperson from the Changi Airport Group told Wanbao that they are still “investigating” the cause of the flooding.
There were no immediate comments from PAP Environment Minister Yaacob Ibrahim nor PUB Chairman Tan Gee Paw who was ironically awarded the Distinguished Service Order on National Day ostensibly for solving Singapore’s perennial flood problems.
The PAP regime’s response to the recent spate of flooding is reminiscent of Communist China which censored all negative news before the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.
Unfortunately, with the advent of the New Media, it is no longer possible for the PAP to control the flow and dissemination of information.
With NEA warning that there will be heavy downpours in the next few days, Singaporeans better be prepared for another episode of “once in five days” (not fifty years) flooding, thanks to the PAP’s incompetence and ineptitude.
