PUB is Water God, can control flooding

PUB said the first flash flood was reported at 8.30am, and that its Quick Response Teams "were immediately deployed to all sites". "By 9.20am, flash floods at all locations had subsided," it added.

What is the reporter trying to say: that the flash floods subsided by 9.20 am because the PUB's Quick Response Teams were deployed?

SINGAPORE - A heavy downpour caused flash floods in various parts of Singapore on Tuesday morning (June 23).

In a statement on Facebook, national water agency PUB said flash floods were reported in Jurong Town Hall Road, Opera Estate and New Upper Changi Road, and at the intersection of Bedok North Avenue 4 and Upper Changi Road.

PUB said the first flash flood was reported at 8.30am, and that its Quick Response Teams "were immediately deployed to all sites".

"By 9.20am, flash floods at all locations had subsided," it added.

Video clips uploaded to Twitter and Facebook showed Bedok Canal filled to the brim, and two vehicles submerged in water at the intersection of Upper Changi Road and Bedok North Avenue 4, near Changi Fire Station.

What did the response team do?

 

[cocobobo]

Why make such insinuations? They are exposing themselves to liability. All those stalled cars, now cannot say Act of God since they can act.

Look the the fucking losers!!! Buy a car, you assholes! LOL

I thought the whole point of building the Marina Barrage was to prevent such floods from occuring? It's not just another vanity project done for the amusement of Old Fart Lee?

Quick response or no response... what difference does it make? You deploy some PUB jiakliaobee at the flooding site, what is he/she going to do? Sweep away the excess water with a broom?
