Breakin'-flood again, but u know sinkapore is not flood free right!

[Tiu Kwang Yew]

Flood in sinkapore is a norm now.

so lets not be unhappy about it, live with it----sinkapore not flood free !

Last few years ago, sinkapore not like that ,but now different oredi.

PAP has created a fish- tank effect in sinkapore before of water, they are desperate to show Mudland water is enough !

Who bluff who! Sinkapore will never be water-sufficient ----drink newater not safe one !

Only one day soon when MRT station caves in during heavy rain then they will start to work for the people.....veri tragic....need a big disaster to convince PAP.....the voters are beri-veri-beri stupid.

Downpour triggers floods

SOME parts of Singapore were flooded again on Thursday, with waters rising up to knee-high, due to another heavy downpour in the afternoon.

Floodwaters were seen along Paterson Road, near Wheelock Place in Orchard Road, the scene of the worst flooding in 26 years two weeks ago, as well a in Tai Seng Road, Kampong Ampat Road and MacPherson area.

The National Environment Agency (NEA) warned of heavy showers with thunder between 1 pm and 2.30 pm on Thursday.

A reader of STOMP said the canal near Tai Seng Drive overflowed during the heavy rain, flooding the road outside the StarHub building.

'The canal beside the road was full and it overflowed, which caused a small flood,' said STOMPer tanwk.

In Kampong Ampat, floodwaters rose to knee-high.

More than 100 mm of rainfall was recorded during two of the heaviest downpour in June, causing floods in many parts of Singapore.

Holy Goh! Marine Parade GRC! Now who daresay MacPherson is landlocked and not part of marine landscape?

 

[makapaaa]

Wat da ya expect me to do? Tear down the Marina Barrage? Live with it and move on lah! *hee*hee*​

 

[Brightkid]

AAAhhh....now I can understand why PAPa grouped areas as far away inland as mind-boogling possible under Marine Parade GRC !!

When it floods, it has same seaside feeling as Marine Parade.

Brilliant foresight by PAPa.

 

[Mystery Machine]

What the fuck.

PUB is caught offguard the third time.

Will they push it to NEA this time?

Let the finger-pointing game commence!

 

[johnny333]

Not only is it prone to floods, but also crime is an increasing problems & not forgetting the crowded public transport system.

In other 3rd world countries like Indonesia, Malaysia,...., at least it's cheap but Spore got world class costs

 

[vamjok]

i starting to believe its that marina shit that causes all these. b4 the completion of that, we did not experience any of this shit at all

 

[HTOLAS]

I walked past Kampung Java Canal around 1245h just before the rain started. The water level was very low. At 1315h, I went out to the canal and saw that the canal was almost full! In other words, it took less than half an hour for the water to rise almost three metres.

I don't know if the Marina Barrage is the problem but I know this was never the case in the previous 20 years I've been in this area. And today's rain was not even spectacularly heavy.

Yaacob's Ark to be built to save famiLEE LEEgime during floods

Yaacob Almighty?!

The Book of LEEgime, chapters 6-9, tells how God sends a great flood to destroy the red dot because of man's wickedness and because the red dot is corrupt. God tells Noah, the righteous man in his generation, to build a large vessel to save his family and a representation of the world's animals. God gives detailed instructions for the Ark and, after its completion, sends the animals to Noah. God then sends the Flood, which rises until all the HDB flats are covered, and most living things died, except the fish. Then "God remembered Noah," the waters abate, and dry land reappears. Noah, his family, and the animals leave the Ark, and God vowed to never again send a flood to destroy the red dot.

​

May be the Singaporeans should consider to construct Singapore's Ark at Hong Lim Park?

:-)

Sail that to the Istana?

This is pure disinformation . Why is it always white people !

 

[Brightkid]

maybe you were not born yet, the areas around bt timah road /dunearn road flood when it rains esp during the dec monsson period.

When he was not borned yet, the ministers may not be paid miilions of dollares that time.

With the million dollar salaries, which is out of this world by comparison with ANY politicians WORLDWIDE, we do expect problems to be anticipated and resolved (or at least contingency plans in place). Not be caught off-guard at EVERY event !


Hey, I did not see any MIW in Noah's Ark leh. Did they took a newer version luxurious liner, with their millions of dollars from taxpayer's money ?

 

[HTOLAS]

The serious flooding occurred in the 60s and 70s. Twenty years back would be 1990. From 1990 until recently, flooding very rarely occurred, and then only after very prolonged (five to six hours) rain coinciding with high tide.

[kingrant]

Unfortunately for them, they have eliminated the Communists otherwise they will be blaming them.

But they can still try to blame the Malaysian govt, or Mahathir. Or even Osama bin Laden.

 

[HTOLAS]

You forget the Falunggong practitioners who are always practising near the Esplanade, on the shore of Marina Reservoir.

Unfortunately for them, they have eliminated the Communists otherwise they will be blaming them.

Maybe you have heard that our MIW says that flood in Bukit Timah occur once every 50 years even though they have lived there all the while.

And orchard road too.

The thing is, sg used to rain for 3days and even whole day past 15-20 years ago. That is why so many drains and canals are built to prevent flooding.

But what the hell happens now? Even a two hour normal heavy shower causes a flood? Can you imagine what happens when the weather becomes normal and actually rain a full day or even three days in a row?

 

[saratogas]

When our Leaders said Sinkapore will never be Flood free is same same as saying we will never be Corruption free too. The power of $$$.
