Landslide In Outram Occurred After Incessant Rain, Area Cordoned Off For Repair Works
mustsharenews.com
Just 3 days into the new year, Singapore has already seen unprecedented levels of heavy rain and cold weather due to the La Nina phenomenon.
Now, landslides have also occurred, with one that took place behind Furama Riverfront Hotel — near York Hill and Outram Secondary School in Outram.
Authorities have been alerted to the incident and the area is now cordoned off for repair works.

In spite of the slippage, professional engineers assessed that the slope is currently stable.

Best to stay warm & safe indoors
Despite being a tropical country, Singapore isn’t entirely invulnerable against nature disasters. Occasionally, bad weather could cause disruption at several areas, and recent incidents of floods and landslides are a testament to that.
Luckily, no one was hurt. We hope authorities will be able to carry out repair works swiftly in inclement weather.
In the meantime, perhaps it’d better to stay warm and cosy indoors these days instead of heading out.

Just 3 days into the new year, Singapore has already seen unprecedented levels of heavy rain and cold weather due to the La Nina phenomenon.
While many are relishing the aircon weather, the torrential downpour has started wreaking havoc around the island with flash floods.
Now, landslides have also occurred, with one that took place behind Furama Riverfront Hotel — near York Hill and Outram Secondary School in Outram.
Authorities have been alerted to the incident and the area is now cordoned off for repair works.
