Well, well, the "once in 50 years" rain has returned in less than a year. My workplace was flooded too (Bt Timah Road).
The Burger King at Liat Towers is now a Wendy's, it opened on Monday...
I can guess how they're gonna taiji that 'Once in 50 years' claim.
They'll just say that that claim is only applicable to the Bukit Timah corridor, and that Orchard Road is another story altogether.

all the new underground malls and construction probably caused the drainage problem

Like I said, the Stamford Canal had to be diverted to build Somerset 313.
That should at least be a contributing factor, unless they actually somehow improved the drainage with the diversion.
High tides might be a factor, but I always thought that was more of an issue for places like Katong and Joo Chiat.

Yacob was probably counting in ant-years...
Any meander is going to slow down the flow of fluid, as you can probably attest to. I wonder how they're going to sort this out, since climate change is only going to make such weather more frequent.

Making the canal meander would slow down the drainage, but if they managed to make it meander such that it covers an area with previously-poor drainage, then the net effect might be positive.
Which is why I'm reserving my judgement on this issue - simply put, I don't have the schematics of the drainage system in the Orchard/Somerset area.
All I can say is that I hope to see a lot more action and a lot fewer lame excuses from the powers-that-be.... and somehow, I'm not very optimistic about that....

If this kind of flooding becomes a recurrent problem, it will have serious implications for singapore. imagine the damages already suffered by all the affected retail and f&b outlets located on the ground level and the effect it has on the attractiveness of singapore as a host for sporting events and tourism, to say nothing of what a pain in the ass it will be for all of us. Hopefully they manage to fix the problem.
