Nearly two days of constant rain over the weekend caused several parts of eastern Singapore to flood on Sunday morning and afternoon.
Channel News Asia reported that areas affected by the Sunday floods included Airport Boulevard, Changi Village, the slip road near Tampines Avenue 12, the TPE slip road near the Punggol exit, as well as Ang Mo Kio Ave 5, leading to Buangkok Green Industrial Park.
The Straits Times also reported two lanes along Airport Boulevard were closed on Sunday morning due to flooding along Airport Boulevard, leaving two passable. But the flood waters were cleared by noon.
The almost continuous weekend rain also caused havoc at construction sites. In particular, a partially completed bridge under construction at Punggol The Waterway collapsed under the weight of rainwater on Sunday morning.
The non-stop rain and subsequent floods were a major talking point on micro-blogging platform Twitter, where #sgflood and #sgfloods were among the top trending topics.
Users @quelynxandever and @iamsurebbyrz also reported flooding at the Singapore Expo, and Loyang Avenue near Changi Prison.

Twitter user @kixes tweeted, ”Singapore is flooding again. This is a Hard Truth,” a tongue-in-cheek reference to MM Lee Kuan Yew’s best-selling book.
Another user @chalithlon also called for a degree of perspective when he tweeted, “There’s nos #sgflood, just water stuck near pavements and all. Qld (Queensland), Brazil…that’s what u call “flood”.
