Can claim insurance in this case?

Insurance company may say it is a 'Act of God' which is not covered by under the clause but then again, isn't it also contributed by human fault (e.g. poor drainage system design, poor maintenance, etc)

Shops and eateries at the ground floor of Lucky Plaza and Liat Towers, including Starbucks, were submerged under flood waters after the heavy downpour this morning (Jun 16).

"It's been raining heavily since this morning. Now, the Lucky Plaza basement is flooded.

"The water has reached up to ankle level and is affecting many shoppers and businesses.

"People are all amazed - they're just standing around watching the unexpected flooding of the area."

"The flood destroyed shops such as Starbucks, Hermes, Wendy's and Massimo Duttiat, located at the basement of Liat Towers.

"There is massive flooding at Newton Circus. A lot of cars are 'dead' in the water."
 
Me not sexpert but... Dun think u can claim frm commercial property insurance unless de policy say so (usually doesn't) or u buy a separate policy 2 cover flood dmg... Nxt thing 2 do ish 2 sue em for poor drainage system design, poor maintenance, etc... but u had 2 prove it true... they can oso argue it's flash flood n provide u with the lumbers of amt rainfall in an hour blah blah blah... Dun think u stand good chance to win leh... Let wait n c wat's course of action shop owner's take shortly...Mus stock up sum popcorn leow...:D:D

B4 we ask wat's de cause of de flood...we had 2 ask wat's de cost of de flood....
 
Those shop lower that road will be in deep shit.
What can they do. Sue the building management/owner.
 
they can sue the operator of Marina Barrage for negligence.
 
If everything is Act of God, then insurance business si bey ho tan.
 


This Act of God is good what!!! In fact i was hoping for it to be worse than this otherwise that FAP myo539 bitch will boast again sinkeeland is free from natural disaster. In this case the useless minister in charge didn't see it coming. :mad:
