The Singapore Civil Defence Force or SCDF were involved in four
rescue operations caused by this morning's heavy downpour.
SCDF personnel evacuated 18 children and seven adults from a
flooded childcare centre at Telok Kurau Lorong G.
A flash flood at the junction of MacPherson Road and Kampong Ampat
also left a taxi stranded on the road.
Two men in the taxi were rescued by SCDF officers who had to open
the doors manually.
The intense rainfall also resulted in fallen trees
islandwide.
A huge tree fell onto two vehicles on the northbound CTE towards
Yishun, trapping its occupants.
The SCDF said two people were injured and were sent to Tan Tock
Seng Hospital.
Over at Kampung Bahru, towards Keppel Distripark, a fallen tree
led to another two casualties, who were conveyed to the Singapore
General Hospital.
