The last orchard road flooded was also in June, so I think our
govt should make another holiday, the flooding day, a holiday to
mark the flooding and also to make people wary of the flood
coming.
Flood means water, and water to chinese business and our govt,
means $$, orchard with the GSS is generating lots of money, could
be all thanks to the water and flooding, and flooding by itself
also churn the economy, create more jobs like further digging and
drilling, selling of more flood protective equipment like pumps and
water proof gates, therefore if you look at it, it is generating $$
and jobs, otherwise, Singapore can be boring.
As for solution, singapore, especially orchard road is so
congested both on land and below land ie underground, any wrong
civil works can open up a hole in MRT tunnel or some underground
wire and canals, we, as my lecturer once said, are living in a
honey combed underground, full of tunnels, wires, pipes,
canals etc etc, any shake or heavy flood causing soil erosion, we
may sink altogether. So, i am thinking of writing a novel called
"The Sinking Of Sinkapore"
your novel wont sell unless its got sex,wet t-shirts and
nudity after floods washed off everyones clothes!!!!
