There is no flooding in SG, only ponding and draining

As small balls, I cannot create the outcome I want; I am only able accept an outcome created by others.

Remove yourself from the system bit by bit until you are totally out of the system.

You are right. RI are not fighting a lone battle. The support that they have been receiving is minimal. However, when RI start making headway in the legal battlefront, more people will come forward to support them. It always works that way. The big balls will start the fight, and if they lose, the small balls will ridicule the big balls and pat themselves on the back in consolation by saying they are wise for not joining the fight. As the big balls begin to break new frontiers, the small balls will be inspired as the risk of being labelled as a loser, a label that the small balls themselves like to put on others, will have been reduced with more victories won by the big balls. I know because I have small balls

As one with super small balls, I can give money without exposing myself. I cannot afford to give $1,000, but I can give $10. Even if I cannot give $10, the least I can do is not to ridicule the big balls when they are fighting my cause. If I ridicule the big balls, indirectly I'm supporting the tyrant against whom I have been voicing my dissatisfaction. If I ridicule the big balls, I put myself in an analysis-paralysis position.

I KPKB about the tyrant day after day, but when someone with big balls appears I ridicule them. Why? I ridicule the big balls who are fighting my cause because I fear they will lose, I fear standing with losers and I fear being identified with losers. It's because I'm small balls, nature dictates that I don't have the capacity to think like big balls. As small balls, I cannot create the outcome I want; I am only able accept an outcome created by others.

Two floods during monsoon surge caused by lack of proper drainage: PUB​

SINGAPORE - Two incidents of flooding during the recent monsoon surge have been attributed to choked and the absence of drains, said national water agency PUB.

In a Facebook post on March 24, PUB said a flood occurred on March 21 along Central Lane 3 near the Marina Bay MRT station.

A report of this incident by Stomp on March 23 was accompanied by a video of a person walking in knee-high water towards a stationary taxi, with half its wheels submerged in the water.

The flooded area is a paved road built to facilitate access to an adjacent worksite, PUB said, adding its checks showed there was no proper drainage there to channel storm water.

The other flood happened on March 23 at the ground-floor lift lobby of 129 Bedok Reservoir Road, and the internal drains nearby were found choked with debris.

An article by Stomp on this incident was accompanied by a video that shows a corridor and lift lobby of a Housing Board block being covered with water.

PUB said both incidents could have been prevented with proper drainage measures and timely maintenance of the internal drainage system.


It added that it is working closely with the relevant authorities to address the issues.

The National Environment Agency had earlier warned of heavy downpours during a monsoon surge from March 19 to March 21, with short thundery showers expected in the afternoon on most days in the following week.

The highest rainfall across March 19 and March 20 was recorded at 318mm in Jurong West, while the highest amount recorded in eastern Singapore was 298.4mm.

These two numbers exceed Singapore’s average monthly rainfall of 209.7mm in March.

Other than the two incidents highlighted, a 15m stretch along the intersection of Mountbatten Road and Jalan Seaview experienced flooding for about two hours at around 2pm on March 20, PUB said in a Facebook post that day.

This was due to a combination of heavy rainfall and high tide that temporarily overwhelmed the adjacent canal and surrounding roadside drains.

The public can provide feedback on flooding incidents through the One Service app or contact PUB directly at 1800-CALL PUB (1800-225-5782).

SINGAPORE - Torrential rain across Singapore on the afternoon of April 13 led to flash floods at three locations in the north-east: Yishun Avenue 7, a section of the KPE (slip road to Buangkok East Drive), and Punggol Way (slip road to TPE).

National water agency PUB, in a Facebook post on the same day, said that the flooding at all three locations subsided within an hour, by 3pm.

The heaviest rainfall of around 114mm was recorded in the northern part of the island between 12.55pm and 2.45pm. This, said PUB, was equivalent to 47 per cent of Singapore’s average monthly rainfall in April and ranked within the top 2 per cent of maximum daily rainfall records since 1978.

The heavy downpour had earlier prompted the agency to also issue flash flood risk alerts for 13 locations, including in Punggol, Yishun, Toa Payoh and Bukit Timah, where the heavy rain resulted in high water levels in drains and canals.

The series of alerts followed a post on its X account at about 1.20pm that warned that heavy rain was expected over many areas of Singapore from 1.30pm to 3pm.

Mr Ong, 48, who wanted to be known by only his surname, told The Straits Times that he was driving his family members home from a prayer session around Tampines at about 2.30pm.

They were heading towards Buangkok Drive via the KPE when, about five minutes into the drive, he noticed the floodwaters around the car getting higher.

Mr Ong stopped briefly to assess the situation, and as the water level rose, he decided to make a U-turn and drive in the opposite direction to avoid the flood.

Netizens also took to social media to share images and videos of the rain and waterlogged areas across the island.

Mr Mohd Hakim Musa, who shared images of a waterlogged carpark in Chong Pang on Facebook, said it was the first time he could recall seeing it flooded in his 12 years of living in the area.

“It’s not that serious, but it brings back memories of my childhood, when my friends and I would play with paper boats and run around in the rain,” he added.


Facebook user Tracy Lim said that road visibility was affected by the rain as she was driving along the TPE.


Meanwhile, TikTok user Sure Bo posted a video showing a slightly flooded walkway and rain-slicked roads in Yishun. One commenter remarked: “Don’t complain, just thank God for what we get, especially since Singapore is safe.”


The Meteorological Service Singapore (MSS) on April 1 said moderate to heavy thundery showers are expected over parts of Singapore in the afternoon on most days of April.

The total rainfall for the first half of April is expected to be above average across most parts of the island, MSS said.

Daily maximum temperatures are likely to range between 33 deg C and 34 deg C on most days, with some days possibly reaching up to 35 deg C.

SINGAPORE – Heavy rain on the afternoon of April 15 led to a flash flood in Yishun Avenue 7, near the intersection of Yishun Street 22.

The flood, which was reported by national water agency PUB in a post on X at 4.35pm, subsided by 4.55pm, the agency said in a later update.

PUB also advised the public to avoid the area around TPE (Punggol West Flyover) for an hour from 4.55pm due to heavy rains.

Earlier, it had also warned that heavy rain was expected over northern, eastern and central areas of Singapore for about an hour from 4.55pm.

Yishun Avenue 7 was also affected by flash floods on April 13 during torrential rain across the island. Two other north-east locations affected were: a section of the KPE (slip road to Buangkok East Drive), and Punggol Way (slip road to TPE).

The Meteorological Service Singapore (MSS) on April 1 said that moderate to heavy thundery showers are expected over parts of Singapore in the afternoon on most days of April. The showers may extend into the evening on a couple of days of the month.

The inter-monsoon conditions, characterised by light and variable winds, and higher lightning activity, usually last until May and are expected to gradually weaken.

The total rainfall for the first half of April is expected to be above average across most parts of the island, MSS said.

SINGAPORE - Heavy showers on the afternoon of April 20 led to flash floods in several parts of Bukit Timah.

The affected areas were Bukit Timah Road, between Clementi Road and Blackmore Drive; Kings Road, between Prince Road and Lutheran Road; the junction between Stevens Road and Balmoral Road; and Coronation Walk.

Flood risk warnings were issued for a total of 18 locations, including Paya Lebar, Orchard Road, Thomson Road, Toa Payoh, Hillcrest Road, Sunset Drive, Boon Lay, and Alexandra Road.

National water agency PUB said its Quick Response Team was deployed to direct traffic away from flooded lanes and provide assistance to motorists.

The flash floods subsided after about an hour at all four waterlogged locations.

Local actor-host Darren Lim was among the many who were caught off guard by the fast-rising waters.

In an Instagram video, the 52-year-old is seen carrying his son Elliot on his shoulders, as he waded through the knee-deep muddy water to get his car after picking up his son from a tuition class in Bukit Timah.

Lim asks his son “is this fun or not”, to which the boy replies “it’s very scary”.


In a Facebook post on April 20, PUB said that the heaviest rainfall of 113.2mm was recorded in the central area from 4.15pm to 6.25pm.

This corresponds to nearly half of Singapore’s average monthly rainfall in April and, like in the case of an afternoon deluge on April 13, lies within the top 2 per cent of maximum daily rainfall records since 1978.

PUB said the Bukit Timah area is prone to flooding, and works are ongoing to expand a section of the Bukit Timah Canal – from Rifle Range Road to Jalan Kampong Chantek – to enhance flood protection. The works are expected to be completed by 2026.

Earlier, National Environment Agency warned that moderate to heavy thundery showers with gusty winds were expected over the northern, southern and central areas of Singapore for an hour from 4.25pm.

The Meteorological Service Singapore on April 16 said that in the second half of the month, short thundery showers were expected over parts of the island in the afternoon on most days, with some extending into the evening.

Daily maximum temperatures are forecast to range between 33 deg C and 34 deg C on most days, with highs of around 35 deg C on some days.

SINGAPORE – A heavy downpour on the afternoon of April 21 led to a flash flood in Yishun Avenue 7.

National water agency PUB reported the flood at 3.30pm on X, and said that its officers were deployed to help those affected and direct traffic away from flood waters.

The flash flood, which occurred near the intersection of Yishun Street 22, subsided after about 25 minutes. It was the third flash flood that had taken place in Yishun in nine days.

In a Facebook post on the evening of April 21, PUB said: “This location has experienced flooding over the past two weeks due to heavy rain temporarily overwhelming the drainage capacity of the roadside drains.

“PUB has designated this location as a flood hot spot and will be implementing measures to enhance the drainage in this area.”

It added in its post that the heaviest rainfall on April 21 of 102.8mm was recorded in northern Singapore, from 2.55pm to 5.05pm. This amount corresponds to 42 per cent of Singapore’s average monthly rainfall in April, and lies within the top 3 per cent of maximum daily rainfall records since 1978.

April 21 is also the second consecutive day that flash floods have been reported in Singapore.

On April 20, heavy showers in the afternoon led to flash floods in several parts of Bukit Timah. They followed flash flood risk warnings issued by PUB for 18 locations, including Paya Lebar, Orchard Road, Thomson Road, Toa Payoh, Hillcrest Road, Sunset Drive, Boon Lay and Alexandra Road.

Yishun Avenue 7 was affected by flash floods on April 13, along with two other locations in the north-east: the KPE slip road to Buangkok East Drive, and the Punggol Way slip road to the TPE.

On April 15, heavy rain led to a flash flood in Yishun Avenue 7 again, near the intersection with Yishun Street 22.

The Meteorological Service Singapore (MSS) on April 16 said short thundery showers are expected over parts of the island in the afternoon on most days in the second half of the month, with some extending into the evening.

Heavy downpours have persisted since the start of April, with the heaviest recorded on April 13, when 117mm of rainfall was measured around the Yishun Ring Road area. According to MSS, this is the highest daily rainfall recorded for the first half of the month.

Despite frequent rain in the first two weeks of April, nine days saw temperatures reaching 34 deg C or higher. The highest daily maximum temperature so far this month is 36.2 deg C, recorded in Paya Lebar on April 12.

Singapore’s all-time highest temperature remains at 37 deg C, recorded in Ang Mo Kio on May 13, 2023, and in Tengah on April 17, 1983.

MSS noted that most parts of Singapore received above-average rainfall in the first half of April. Rainfall in Yio Chu Kang Road was around 217 per cent above average, while Kranji Reservoir saw rainfall 9 per cent below average.

Muddy water rushes into bus during Bukit Timah flash flood that left cars stranded​

Agnes, A.J.M
Stompers documented the extent of the flash floods in Bukit Timah on April 20.

Stomper Agnes was in a bus at around 5.30pm during the flood and shared a photo of the flooded bus floor.

"It was immediately flooded up to the tyre level! People just stopped in the middle of the road. They didn't dare to move," she recalled.


"The bus 855 driver was so experienced and slowly manoeuvred around the stationary cars and went to the bus stop ahead to pick up passengers."

Photos taken from the bus also showed numerous cars half-submerged, with people holding umbrellas while walking through the flood.
"After the rain lessened, the cars moved slowly. For the cars which were stuck in the highest water levels above the wheels, they could only wait as they would have been 'floating' when driving."

A video sent by Stomper A.J.M showed an overhead view of Bukit Timah Canal from a bridge, with what appears to be leaves and soil being quickly swept away by the waters.


He also sent a video of the pedestrian walkway at Cluny Park Road, where submerged patio chairs and tables can be seen, alongside cars determined to push through the floods.


According to PUB, the heaviest rainfall of 113.2mm was recorded in the central area from 4.15pm to 6.25pm on April 20.

Flooding & ponding are here to stay.
Sinkies must accept a lower standard as compared to 80s & 90s totally no ponding, no floods, no power outages & no MRT breakdown.

Flooding & ponding are here at stay. Sinkies must accept a lower standard as compared to 80s & 90s totally no ponding, no floods, no power outages & no MRT breakdown.

As S'pore becomes overcrowded with even more built-up structures, covered drains as well as paved roads and walkways, there will be less fields to absorb rainwater and open canals to channel away excess water. This is another problem of the PAP's own making.

Not that I know of in the 80s. But I did read about the bad flooding in Straits times at lorong Chuan where tables & chairs at home immersed in water. Now can take out cpf at 55 but the retirement age no longer at 60. Last time take out CPF at 55 is as good as can retire at 55.

You don't have to be very old to remember the Orchard Road floods of 2010.

I used to work in the CBD, and remember clearly the sight of Orchard Road partially submerged during a heavy downpour.

Orchard Road once looked like the river running through the orchard.
