Both VB and PUB are right in their own ways. Ponding is accumulation of water not drained off in a curvature or a basement. Flooding is accumulation of water not drained off on street level or sea level, even if just ankle high. Both are right. Singapore has both ponding and flooding!

 

[palden]

Pond Dan. What pounding. Flood is flood la. Then when consider lakeing and when is it flooding?

accumulating, collecting, lake-ing, oceaning, what is the difference? All refer to water forming up where it is not supposed to be. A pile of shit by any other name is also a pile of shit

Dr Vivian Balakrishnan already said in parliament that PUB should not had used the term "ponding" and to call a spade a spade ie flooding is flooding. Vivian knew he had to say this in parliament not just because of the public anger against this but because in the construction industry, "ponding" means accumulation of pools or puddles of water due to rain coming into the building through open accesses such as verandahs, windows or gaps in between ceilings, and not due to water flowing in from the roads after the drains have been full. PUB initially denied Liat Towers management claim that Stamford Canal was overflowing and hence the flow and therefore said it was "ponding". But PUB's own investigation after Liat Towers open defiance publicly showed that Stamford Canal had indeed overflowed that day and no choice but to admit it. Hence Vivian cannot use this "ponding" term also and had to instead castigate PUB in parliament instead. My intention in posting this is not to put you down but to ensure that other forummers would not be misled into thinking the term "ponding" and "flooding" are interchangeable and both can be used in the same situation. PUB was simply trying to put a defence by using such a term but had been proven wrong.

As a side point, it is good to see Liat Towers management going head to head with the PUB. In the past, people simply accept what the authorities tell them but there is now a growing trend to take the PAP and their cronies on. Hope more and more s'poreans will be doing that.

From the army what you expect. They use words like this all the time...malingering, kenging, idling.

What a crap explanation. The real reason he invented the word ponding, is because everytime he bend over in Serangoon road for his apuneh boyfriend, he says "pound me, pound me". But since keklings cannot prounounce the "u" in the middle of a word, he says "yessir, I pond u very good today". Hence, he is very familiar with ponding.
