Heavy rains on Monday afternoon caused flooding in a supermarket in Ang Mo Kio.
An NTUC FairPrice branch located at Block 712, Ang Mo Kio Avenue 6 saw ankle—deep water seeping up to its cashier area.
FairPrice said the incident happened at about 3pm. It added staff reacted immediately by escorting customers out to ensure their safety.
The affected areas were cleaned up within the hour.
Business resumed shortly after when it was ascertained that the goods on the premises are not affected and the safety of customers not compromised.
FairPrice said it is working with the building management and town council to determine the cause of the water seepage, and to ensure such an incident does not happen again.
