Lucky it did not rain for the whole day.
Otherwise Orchard Road will give the Sentosa Underwater World a run for the money.

too many talented foreigners there during weekends so they sit on the palce until the ground sink by several inches. when heavy rain the place become a naturally build swimming pool loh.

That ride at Universal Studios broke down? No problem, we have our own Water World, no need to go to LA to see it.

As usual, State Times only reported a little bit on the flood.
-
Joking aside, what could have caused such a flood?
I don't recall Orchard Road being flooded so badly before and only after a few hours of rainfall.
Construction of new buildings around the area affected the drainage system there?
-
Newly appointed Perm Sec for Water, brings in alot of Water for Singapore! At least he solved our dry season drought problems.
The Environment and Water Resources Ministry will have a new Permanent Secretary from next month.
A statement from the Public Service Division, Prime Minister's Office, said Lieutenant-General Desmond Kuek, the former Chief of Defence Force, will be appointed to the post.

sgpore build too fast already. cheap construction labor mah so just invite them with employment passes in loh. dig here dig there and no the lights ouotside my flat area blown no town council people bother to even patrol and change them. maybe i just go fairprice buy a suitable bulb and change myself.
do we need all the digging and construction work? nothing free anyhow dig here and there. just send those pass hoilders back home lah create so many social and security issues and employment overcrowding.
