I live in Dunearn Road/Bukit Timah, and this was the scene one fine morning.

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.

idk why you telling such things that I already know. Yeah, but thanks

Because you sound like living long enough to witness many exciting events including 1988 election where we all have braddell Heights Constituency exciting counting that almost fell.
Such exciting times & the awaking of sinkies to politics & the GRC system that has many walkovers after that & voters like me never got as first timer voters 1991 till 2011 watershed time. So we all live through exciting times.

The real threat to the cars is after the canal overflows. That photo shows the canal almost reaching its maximum capacity. Thankfully, the rain had trickled to a drizzle by then, so it was able to discharge the water w/o being overwhelmed by more rainfall.

I believe many car insurance policies offer flood damage coverage, but it is not universally included in standard policies.
