Boring tunnel breakthrough for Singapore's North East MRT Line!

For such a small tiny island, Singapore's underground has too many holes n tunnels already..Someday some parts might just collapsed n sink in...

Our underground is filled with concrete, rain water can't run off into the soil. Hence we can expect more "ponding". Shiok lah!
 
going in raw (and spilling cream to lubricate the tunnel) is the wet dream of all men.

I thought ponding was almost eliminated thanks to the Marina Barrage? :unsure:

Marina Barrage is the vision of the late Mr Lee Kuan Yew (the first Prime Minister of Singapore) more than two decades ago when he envisaged damming the mouth of the Marina Channel to create a freshwater reservoir.

Marina Barrage is part of a comprehensive flood control scheme to alleviate flooding in the low-lying areas in the city such as Chinatown, Boat Quay, Jalan Besar and Geylang. During heavy rain, the series of nine crest gates at the dam are activated to release excess stormwater into the sea when the tide is low. In the case of high tide, giant pumps can drain excess stormwater into the sea.
