Take pre-emptive precautions before another disaster strike!
-
It may be a bit too late for LTA to start strigent check on all other circle line's digging as the Nicoll Highway is already collapsed and many lives lost! Nevertheless, are we going to be complacent and wait for another similar or more serious disaster to happen before we start taking more stringent and more frequent check on the two tunnels under Singapore River?If water were to leak through these two tunnels during peak hours, imagine for yourself the size of the calamity that will befall on Singapore!
Many of you may think that this will not happen, but when it happens, it may be the end of our concerns! -
no wonder your nick's heartlander..
yes, i'm concern for this too~ and i'm sure many singaporeans do concern about this matter, just that some choose not to say it out -
heartleander,
This was precisely what I was trying to emphasize in my topic about Low Flying Fighter Jets over estates.
Just like the Nicoll Highway, Mindef stated that they have various agencies looking into the safety aspects of flying over housing estates, but then how come Nicoll Highway still collapses and the authoraties concern say that it is UNEXPECTED when they were the ones who APPROVES the level of safety for work progress under Nicoll Highway? If humans don't make mistakes, then I'm a monkey.
Weren't soil testings conducted before and during tunnelling?? Or only now after such a disaster and loss of lives then start stringent testings??
Or is it just simply; Right also they say, Wrong also they say?
DON'T, let DISASTERS be a PREMIUM to pay, for the sake of PROGRESS and DEFENCE. -

There was a time when leaks were found in the CTE tunnels. Isn't more terrifying to have the singapore river wash thru the CTE instead?
