PUBee Has Been LYING! The Proof!

[makapaaa]

This shows that the PUBee CCB CEO is LYING about clogged drain. And he got a Familee Day award for doing so. It also showed that he's not doing his job when even a lay person could tell where the real problem lie!

Flood campaigner's persistence pays off

<!-- story content : start -->
When a 190m stretch of Wilby Road is raised in about three months from now, residents of The Tessarina condominium will have Dr Audrey Tan to thank for her quiet, but determined, campaign.
Repeated flooding of the road outside the condominium prompted the 38-year-old dermatologist to lobby national water agency PUB; her MP, Mr Christopher de Souza; and even Cabinet ministers for something to be done.
Why not raise the road level, she asked at a meeting with the PUB in March, after severe flooding four months earlier saw the condominium's underground carpark inundated, causing damage to cars that ran into the hundreds of thousands of dollars.
She said that each time she raised the matter, officials told her that it was an option but that there were budgeting issues.
She would not let up. Between then and last month, when another major flood hit the condominium badly again, she had painstakingly captured on video five separate instances when Wilby Road was fully submerged.
Each time, she would make her way to a nearby overhead bridge - umbrella in one hand, camera in the other - wading through shin-high water.
The images she captured proved critical. As a PUB spokesman noted: 'Dr Tan's videos were very informative because they showed how the floods were developing. Once we knew that, we could take action to mitigate against future flooding, and one of the measures we decided on was to raise the level of Wilby Road.'
Work to raise the road by half-a-metre - or about knee-high - will start on Wednesday. The $800,000 project will be completed by Nov 23, the spokesman added.
Doing so should prevent flood waters from flowing into the condominium's underground carpark and causing damage. The water will instead be channelled to the nearby Bukit Timah canal.
Dr Tan's efforts have won her praise from not only the PUB, but fellow residents and Mr de Souza.
Said the MP: 'Dr Tan is a good example of how residents could represent their neighbourhood in seeking improvements. This has been a wholesome experience in government-citizen partnership.'
The Tessarina made the headlines following the floodings last November and last month.
Heavy downpours caused water from the canal to overflow to the surrounding areas, including the Tessarina.
Following the floods, the Government improved road culverts, expanded roadside drains, and committed itself to deepening the Bukit Timah canal, a project that will take two years.
However, Dr Tan pointed out that the canal may still overflow in the interim - hence her call to raise the level of low-lying Wilby Road.
Among those who applauded her dogged persistence was fellow resident Tony Mok, 43: 'She put in a lot of effort and personal time, and the residents respect her for that.'
Added retiree Pauline Ong, 65: 'This is such good news. I appreciate that the decision has been reached promptly and efficiently.'
Dr Tan modestly played down her role. 'I think it's all been worth the while, even though it has not been easy. I give credit to all the agencies involved and to Mr de Souza. If they had not been so approachable and willing to help, we would not have got this far.'

=> Can afford to blow away $400M on some stupid kids' event, but no money to solve the flood problem? What gives?

 

[kingrant]

Not only PUB! Also the NEA!!

Thousands caught for running engines while stationary but only a few are punished --and even that, only warned.

That goes to show POOR enforcement by lazy civil servants!

=> Is this the same Liar De Souza dog which defended the FAPee Sell Cuntry Thieves on their ineptness?

 

[mentor_LEE]

Fucking bitch can video flooding in SG?

HANDCUFF HER!

 

[Glaringly]

Raising a road that cost Tax Payer $800,000 to solve a flooding problem? Or is it to divert a flooding problem?

Thought I saw the video of this particular condo basement being flooded, and the gush of water indicates it is coming fast and furious and I suppose it's from the canal rather then from the surrounding area.

So, if the source of flooding that overflow is block, won't it just flooded the next low lying spot?

$800,000 can use to help a lot of poor folks, is this how the government is foolishly throwing our money away. Understood the folks at Tessarina will be happy, but won't it is possible to spent just $50,000 to build a embankment to prevent water from draining into the car park as an interim solution?

This proved that PUB is sleeping on the job. Need a private citizen to teach them how to do the investigation.

A lot of stat organizations are oblivious to the problems on the ground. Those that knew are likely to keep quiet till the point that they can't keep it under wraps anymore with pressure from the net. The more we expose they more they need to react.

 

[Man With Seven Scars]

Then how did the PUB chairman win the National Day Award? LOL

 

[kansas]

I guess she has to, if not, her condo price will drop.

 

[Teo Kok Eng]

PUB failed in her job, they need someone else to do the job for them :(

 

[winners]

What a fucking disgrace? Those highly (and over) paid engineers and ministers would need a commoner to teach them how to do their job adequately. FUCK them indeed.

 

[potato29]

Then how did the PUB chairman win the National Day Award? LOL

just wait, don't do anything wrong and your turn will come to receive award.
they have to give out the awards to show public that there are civil servants working very hard.

 

[scroobal]

This is not your usual complaint. PUB, PWD, stat boards and the government have numerous qualified people who know exactly what the problem is and they also know what the solution is. They also know that it will cause a lot of money to fix.

In this case, she is a medical doctor and I understand she made her position known to all the parties that she has been corresponding with. Credit to her for being persistent.

If Tan Ah Yap, brought his state of the art videocam, his Nikon wide angled camera and his infra-red equipment and recorded the flood using time motion photography, followed by engineering drawings, he will be told to fuck off. I am aware of many such cases and in some, the property owners were asked to fund the counter measures.

The instructions came from the top when they realised that it was a medical doctor who went out in the rain a number of times to capture the gushing water.

If the same medical doctor applied the same approach about he homeless in Pasir Ris, Vivien would have arrived in a tour bus, with hot meals, got HDB to open up special tables for immediate registration for rental flat at special terms. Unfortunately it was TOC and GMS.

I was curious about the story and I know that many such complaints have gone to the government with nothing done.

The police should handcuff her for her dangerous actions which will cause potential danger to herself.

She must be related to some MP, Miniturd, or something like that.

The problem is our police will consider if it's convenient to cuff her !

 

[Cestbon]

She should have post photo and video on internet, also pass it to Wanboa...
The action from PUB will be faster.

 

[scroobal]

I am still to trying to ascertain that.

She must be related to some MP, Miniturd, or something like that.
