EFFICIENT flood gate management and a new water level sensor helped ensure that Bukit Timah was yesterday spared a repeat of last November's severe flooding.

While a section of the Orchard Road area was turned into a large pool, submerging shops and halting traffic, Bukit Timah only had small isolated areas covered by muddy water that had spilled over the Bukit Timah Canal walls. This was in contrast to how Bukit Timah Road fared last November, when a rainstorm caused large portions of the area to flood. The Public Utilities Board (PUB) attributed the lighter effects of yesterday's rain to the opening of a canal flood gate, which helped mitigate flooding in the area.

A new water level sensor installed in the canal after last November's flood also gave sufficient warning time, and allowed the PUB to send SMS alerts to the management of condominiums located in the area when the water level sensor reached 75 per cent at about 9.30am. Still, parts of Dunearn and Stevens Road and areas such as the junction at the entrance of the National University of Singapore's law campus and Cluny Court, at the junction of Cluny Park Road and Bukit Timah Road, were affected.

This is LUNG CHEOW type of news spin.

Yesterday was LOW TIDE during floods. If high tide, Bukit Timah also tio.

KNN stupid reporter. Next time heavy rain during high tide see if Bukit Timah flood or not.

Stupid PORLUMPARs always open their mouths too soon. Like that once in 50 years thing now already happened 3 times.

Which three times?

I only count twice. The Bukit Timah one is once, then the Orchard Road one is twice.
