SINGAPORE: The heavy rains on Monday afternoon
claimed a supermarket in Ang Mo Kio.
An NTUC Fairprice branch located at Block 712, Ang
Mo Kio Avenue 6 saw ankle-deep water seeping up to its cashier
area.
Fairprice said the incident happened at about 3pm.
It added staff reacted immediately by escorting customers out to
ensure their safety.
The affected areas were cleaned up within the hour.
Business resumed shortly after when it was ascertained that
products are not affected and the safety of customers not
compromised.

such an incident does not happen again.
