Expected tonight about 2m wave will hit Pulau Tekong and Ubin. Without this 2 island will direct hit Punggol area.
So keep clear of water in East side.
And condolence to all. RIP

No need to worry. In most countries, the poor pple will die during a tsunami. In SG the poor and middle income all live in high rise flats while the rich live in low level bungalows near the beach. The rich pple in SG will sacrifice themselves for us and block those waves
