Meanwhile, traffic accidents were also reported along the Pan Island Expressway, Kallang-Paya Lebar Expressway, Tampines Expressway, and Dunearn Road, according to the LTA's Traffic News Twitter feed.
The rainy conditions are expected to continue for the rest of the morning.
The National Environment Agency (NEA) said on Twitter at 8.42am: "Heavy rain warning: Moderate to heavy thundery showers with gusty wind are expected to continue over many areas".
Videos and photos sent in by ST readers showed water levels reaching near knee-high levels near Upper Changi Road and a car stuck in flood water outside Paya Lebar MRT station.

Mr Mohammad Firdaus, 33, said the junction of Upper Changi Road and Changi South Lane was flooded with water that reached knee levels.
While big lorries and buses could move through the water, “one of the cars looked to be stuck in the water”.

The delivery driver, who has been working at a warehouse nearby for the last nine months, said: “This is the first time I’ve seen such bad flooding.”

Elsewhere, a multi-storey carpark at Block 613A, Ang Mo Kio Avenue 4, was hit too by the heavy downpour, according to Mr Gary Haris, a senior business development manager.

The 43-year-old told ST that he saw water of ankle-high levels rushing down the stairwells.
“I had to roll up my pants, take off my shoes and walk barefooted,” he added

SINGAPORE - Moderate to heavy thundery showers fell over many parts of Singapore on Monday morning (Jan 8), causing flash floods in several areas.

Government agencies PUB and the Land Transport Authority (LTA) reported flooding along Tampines Road, after Hougang Avenue 1 and towards Jalan Teliti; a city-bound stretch of New Upper Changi Road after Bedok Road; the junction of Bedok Road and Upper Changi Road East; the junction of Sim Aveune and Eunos Road 8; Jalan Nipah; and Arumugam Road.

Water levels in several waterways, such as the Sungei Tongkang, Sungei Kallang and Bedok Canal were close to being full, with the PUB issuing "High Flood Risk" alerts for them.

My minister ever said flooding only happens once every 50 years. Please don't use old footage to sabotage our efficient PAP government which will dominate the next elections again

It has to be diesel if you want to deal with water crossings.

it was very simple back then because LKY had no relatives & kakis in the gov't.
Then he brought in LHL, Ho Ching, WKS, .... , other relatives & friends. into the gov't & GLCs.

Firing the chief is very simple..."kee chiu"...ALL AGREE!..but FIRING INDIAN CHIEFS IS THE MOST DIFFICULT...like Cow$8..."quack, quack" the volunteer & many others...worse, firing an Indian Chief turn...ha ha ha ha...EXTREMELY DIFFICULT.

The late LKY did...K.I.S.S....keep it simple stupid!...but he made things difficult later & left us with the legacy we have today....the only 'chief' they can fire...are the common 'anchovies' type...LKY must be rolling in his grave...
