A heavy downpour this afternoon (20 July) caused flood waters to rise above shin-level at Sembawang Road slowing down traffic in that area.

The recurrent island-wide floods in the past month has led STOMPer Don Tasrif to wonder what is happening to Singapore's drainage system.

He says:

"I just saw the flood at the Sembawang Road area.

"The flood waters rose up to shin-level.

"A motorist had to push his bike because of the flood and this is causing slow moving traffic.

"What's happening to our drainage system?"

Kind of reminds me of Humpty Dumpty(Singapore) :(

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall;
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the King's horses
And all the King's men
Couldn't put Humpty together again!

Million-dollar salary Yacoob already said yesterday that all the money spent to build Marina Barrage is just to solve flood problem around.......well......Marina Barrage !

It does not even play a part in Orchard road's flood.

If my geography is still correct, Sembawang (thankfully it is not under Marine Parade or Tanjong Pagar GRC) is on the other side of the island from the Barrage. What do you expect the Barrage to do leh ?

In any case, any MIW stay in Sembawang ? If not, then let it continue to be the God-forsaken place. A few lesser mortals may probably drown during floods so what ? If it happen, it happened.

Do not disturb the MIWs when they are counting their millions, lest they may need to start all over again once distracted and lost count.

When I exit from Lonie Road, saw banner of Tanjong Pagar GRC banner hanging there for ND celebration, I thought I exit wrong.

Tanjong Pagar GRC actually starts in Thomson Road where the Police Academy is. Must earlier than Lonie Road !!

Think they busy watching porno at home to know what is happening out there. Only that no-porn guy went to have breakfast that's why saw flood and quickly retreat back home and comprain and demand PUB anser him lor.
