SINGAPORE — Heavy rain fell over many parts of Singapore this afternoon (Nov 4), resulting in flash floods at five locations, said the national water agency PUB.
The heaviest rainfall was recorded at Ngee Ann Polytechnic rain gauge station with a total rainfall of 86.6mm from 3pm to 4.40pm. It peaked between 3.30pm to 4pm, with a rainfall of 51.8mm.

During the flash floods, the slip road from Clementi Road to Ulu Pandan Road was not passable to traffic for 15 minutes. Works to increase the size of the culvert across Clementi Road will be carried out in tandem with the Land Transport Authority’s road widening works for this area, said the PUB.
Intense rain also caused a section of the Bukit Timah Canal to overflow, causing a flash flood at Dunearn Road, between Yarwood Ave and Binjai Park. The road remained passable to traffic and flood waters subsided within 25 minutes, said the PUB.
“PUB has major drainage improvement plans for the Bukit Timah catchment which includes upgrading the section of Bukit Timah Canal (between Jln Kampong Chantek and Maple Avenue) and the Bukit Timah 1st Diversion Canal,” said the agency.
Upgrading work for Bukit Timah Canal was completed in March, while works to widen and deepen the Bukit Timah 1st Diversion Canal will be completed by end 2016.
Flash floods were also reported at the junction of Clementi Ave 4 and Commonwealth Ave West, junction of Sunset Drive and Sunset Square, and Lorong Kismis.
The PUB said it has ongoing drainage improvement works at the latter two areas. Both projects are expected to be completed by the middle of next year.

there a big longkang just metres from the junction yet still can flood???

Bro, the big longkang that you spoke of was built for a population of 3 million. It's 2013 and the population has since increased to 5.5 million. Naturally the big longkang overflows.

 

[meepokboy]

Seems like the frequent floodings had forced snakes out of their habitats as well. Next time go public toilet shit must be careful

Rumors mongers. What got flood? Only ponding la.

 

[singveld]

global warming, stop blaming pap, if you cannot do it better.
opposition suddenly turning to civil engineering experts.
if you gain power , can you stop the flood?

Wah lau ...credit you take, blame you don't. You can't have it both ways.
Why PAP does nothing to deal with 'ponding'?

 

[eErotica69]

The word is Ponding and not flooding.

 

[spotter542]

If this goes on , we will be transformed back to a fishing village in double quick time

The population they brought in were uncouth people, they threw their rubbish into the longkang & when it rain too heavy, the longkang overflowed, just like the buses, the trains...

When PAP screw and fuck and rape us and stole billios froim sinkies, you by the side laughing away?

FUCK YOU AND YOU FUCK OFF

 

[Jah_rastafar_I]

sinkies ah you can comprain and comprain again and again but nothing changes.

 

[AhMeng]

PAP once say vote for opposition to become govt...singapore will flood. Hahaha

 

[winnipegjets]

Perhaps they used the longkang as their toilets, to save money. And we have more ponding since their population grew.

......Why PAP does nothing to deal with 'ponding'?

Sinkies take heart. Pinky says Sinkapore is Sampan 2.0; sure cannot sink one.
