Vivian Balakrisnan. Well, that Goh say it just having an annversary. haha Hilarious to me. But certainly a insult to the government. wahhahaha. Kanna shoot....

SBS2601D SG

We can only build so much flood barriers...

sbst275 SG

we can build those water pump + tanks, but problem is maintenance.

You see, those water pumped in are filled w/ soil or even mud, you clear the water slowly aft e rain, you need ppl to clean it as well

Exactly. The Johor floods were a river bursting its banks after a monsoon. The river collects rainwater from all over Malaysia, it's not surprising.

We don't have such natural disasters or rivers here right? No excuse.

Thats not true to an extent...in all my years I've lived...which is not that many, I've never heard of my relative's area getting flooded....much less twice in just about as many years.

And why no excuse?

You know SG is a low-lying country right...?

All it takes is rain + high tide.

Sure flood de.

Almond Cookies SG

Vivian can pray to Rain god to stop the rain.

No rain no flood.

SBS2601D SG

Ya la.

I remember driving through Yong Peng....the oil palm top barely sticked out of the water and the road was badly damaged.

And the water supply all cut....cant bathe, cant cook, cant drink.

That's not normal at all! Especially in Johore...

reyes SG

actually, the problems is very hard to solve. there is simply not enough greenland to absorb the rainwater.

with so many building the rainwater falling on rooftop, concrete floor will be channel into the drainage system this will cause pressure cooking and cause them to overflow.

this is just another evidence of our singapore poor goverance that want to increase population and neglect public infrastructure. trains, housing, drainage......

i would strongly urge PUB or relevant ministry to come clean on the problems and advice the PAP govt the truth. dont fool us!!

the Bear SG

give him a chance..

he just took over from another idiot (see pic)

if next year flood again, then you can bay for his blood.. and this time, he'd have no excuses because he would have been given one whole year to right the "mistakes" the idiot above made

I dont believe the Marina Barrage had no role in this...maybe PUB can clarify?

alize SG

Marina Barrage prevents tidal floods in Kallang.

But causes rainwater floods when the barrage is too full and they don't let water out.

Sg is surrounded by sea but they can't get the water into the sea. Sad.

βέτά SG

They can always install more pumps at the Marina Barrage to pump the water out to sea, like how the folks do it in Louisiana.

Pay multi-million dollar peanuts and you still get monkeys.

Are you kidding?

Were you there when Johore flooded?

Entire palm trees disappeared in the water and people lost their lives!

Have some brains before you speak for god's sake. My relatives there had a nightmarish time of their lives in that particular CNY.

monsieur sbs,

just because your neighbour shit in his pants dont mean u need to do likewise!

how many times was johore village flooded as compared to singapore city?!!!how many!!?

perhaps its u who should try to grow a brain........on yer own body b4 spouting such third world rhethoric.

no wonder PAP won!sheesh.......makes me think sporeans cant count,,,cant reason how much flooding in a month they need .

for yer stupidity.....i have went thru the queensland flood which flooded the entire country which is around a thousand times bigger than singapore.as compared to yer flooding in asia...your problem can be solved if they had brainy folks left.

the greenland is needed to absorb water?

the greenland is needed to absorb water?more like poor drainage.

They can afford to drill more underground holes for mrts, why not drill one for water drainage? The hole is big enough to hold a train.

no idea....i dont claim to be engineer

Director Hitman SG

dun need to be an engineer to say its goin to be flooded.its common sense.

likeyou SG

I think there will be a solution but then.......after it completion......you people need to pay for it.....I mean in certain or another way, pple coming to orchard road will be more expensive....there will be charges...something like that.

No foc for everybody in the shop.

My 2 cents worth.
