From Sunday until today is already so many days, why a simple notification software is still not yet rectified? Is it because they can't find the programmer who wrote that buggy software?

FLOOD warnings were sent out by national water agency PUB on Sunday morning, but a software glitch resulted in the message failing to reach staff from the two most badly affected buildings - Tanglin Mall and St Regis.
"Building owners along Orchard Road such as Tong Building, Delfi, Lucky Plaza and Supreme Hotel received the (SMS) alerts," a PUB spokesman said last night.
"The only exceptions were Tanglin Mall and St Regis (both apartments and hotel). This was due to a problem with the system software whichwill be immediately rectified."

As a result, shops in Tanglin Mall’s first floor and basement one were badly flooded. Three of its basement carparks were also affected.
Its Cold Storage’s Market Place supermarket was also flooded and had part of its false ceiling collapse. It remained closed yesterday.
St Regis Residences saw some 40 cars being partially submerged in its basement three carpark. Many of them were luxury brands, including a Lamborghini, an Aston Martin and a Ferrari.
According to The Straits Times, the Orchard Road Business Association (ORBA) executive director Mr Steven Goh said another shopping mall, Forum The Shopping Mall was also not notified.
Some of its basement shops were flooded ankle-deep.
Mr Goh also expressed disappointment that the flood has happened again after last year’s floods farther up Orchard Road.
He told The Straits Times that he suspected efforts to raise roads and prevent flooding had transferred the problem from mainstream Orchard to the outskirts where Tanglin Mall is located.
However, PUB said the work did not contribute to Sunday’s floodings and the situation would have been much worse without it.
It told The Straits Times that huge amounts of rainfall flowing into the basements of buildings and inadequate internal drainage pumps were to blame.
