Flash floods hit Bukit Timah again
September 23rd, 2010 | Author: Your Correspondent
For the second time in less than a month, Singapore was hit by flash floods again which was unreported by the mainstream media to save the “face” of the PAP regime.
Just two weeks ago, parts of Singapore’s Central Business District were submerged in flood water after a heavy downpour. (read more here)
According to some readers, some parts of Bukit Timah, Jalan Besar, Newton and Novena were flooded yesterday, much to the embarrassment of the PAP regime which is fast running out of time to control the recurrent spate of floods.
Photos of the flooding were taken by a netizen who uploaded it to STOMP here.
PAP MP Dr Teo Ho Pin said during a recent interview with the media that the flash floods is one of the many issues that the PAP regime must tackle before the coming general election.
When the floods first hit Singapore last year November, PAP minister Dr Yaacob Ibrahim claimed that they are “freak events which occur once in fifty years.”
Less than one year later, Singapore has been flooded so many times now that NEA has to issue a flood alert everytime it rains.
Much to the chagrin and disbelief of Singaporeans, PAP leaders downplay their concerns and blame them for “complaining” too much.
Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said that flooding is “inevitable” in “tropical” Singapore while his father PAP strongman Lee Kuan Yew chastised Singaporeans for wanting “everything to be perfect” and proclaimed that the floodings were “an act of God” which “no amount of engineering can prevent.”
Singaporeans, especially those living in the flood-prone areas should heed the advice of Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong to stop “griping” and start taking “action” soon in the coming general election.
