Serious Jurong So Fast Drowning Already! Barely 2-3 Months Since President Tharman Left!

[JohnTan]

SINGAPORE – Several roads in the Jurong West area were flooded on Nov 28 afternoon following heavy rainfall over western Singapore.

National water agency PUB said on Facebook the same evening that a flash flood had occurred in Boon Lay Way at 3.42pm. It subsided within 20 minutes.

In a separate alert on Telegram earlier in the afternoon, PUB said the flash flood affected two of the three lanes there.

PUB said on Facebook that its Quick Response Teams were on site to help the publicod. It added that it had issued flood risk alerts for six locations.

Videos posted on Facebook show the water level in Boon Lay Avenue near River Valley High School almost reaching the height of seats at a bus stop, with vehicles travelling slowly along that road.

Another video shows vehicles in Tah Ching Road, with the road surface in front of Lakeside Towers covered by water.


Filipino domestic worker Josephine Sanico Mosquera, who filmed the Tah Ching Road video, said that the flood started around 4pm and lasted an hour. She added that she did not see vehicles stalled in the water.

“This is the first time in my 12 years in Singapore that I saw the area flooded like that. But I’m not shocked because the floods in the Philippines are more scary,” the 37-year-old said.

PUB said on Facebook that the heaviest rainfall of 104.1mm was recorded in western Singapore from 3.05pm to 4.20pm. This amount is about half of the country’s average monthly rainfall in November.

According to the Meteorological Service Singapore’s website, 30.5mm of rain fell in Jurong West from 3pm to 5pm.

PUB advised motorists and pedestrians to avoid travelling through flooded areas. Members of the public can receive flood alerts by subscribing to PUB’s Telegram Channel at https://t.me/pubfloodalerts or downloading the myENV app.

The Meteorological Service Singapore had said on Nov 16 that short periods of thundery showers are expected over parts of the island in the afternoon, extending into the evening on a few days. The thundery showers could be widespread and heavy, it added.

Total rainfall for the second half of November is forecast to be above average over most parts of Singapore.

Was Mayfair affected? It's a good flush out of a sewage system for a certain unit there.

So this was where they planned to build the high speed rail station to KL. With new cbd.

I think it's a good sign that Jurong is ripe and opposition also don't want this sinking GRC.

Again 50 years pass already?

I thought Tharman's territory is Taman (Tharman) Jurong, the Yuan Ching Road area? The area near River Valley slasher school is probably someone else's territory. Who is it?

Now the Jurong constituency has 1 MP less to meet

Now Shawn Huang jaga two zones, can handle?

 

[Devil Within]

Welcome back to the good old days. I remember floods were common in the 70s when I was a kid. Except that, we don't have multi-million-dollar ministers running the show.

 

[Hypocrite-The]

Now Shawn Huang jaga two zones, can handle?

I wonder if the remaining Jurong MPs are popular and can carry the constituency like the Pineapple?
