Liat Towers pondering next steps on new-found pond at its premises

[Confuseous]

NUS Civil Engineering Assistant Professor Vivien Chua seemed to agree with Liat Towers saying that if water is pumped into something that is already full, overflow would result.

In the discussion between PUB and Liat Towers, Liat Towers also pointed out that over the last 30 years since Liat Towers was built, it had never faced such severe flooding before last year.

PUB, on the other hand, was adamant that the building did not pump the flood water out fast enough. It maintained that with the right hydraulic pumps, ‘you can still pump water into the canal’.

Liat Tower management should ask PUB to give them the specs for the pump. If this still fail, what more can they say. In the first place, why do you need the pump at all if the drainage is sufficient?
