Fiat_hater Neutral Newbie December 21, 2006 Share December 21, 2006 Better don't go. The NS highway stretch from Tangkak to Ayer Keroh flooded. May have to divert to the old road. Flood in Malacca town also though not as bad. But the outlying areas quite bad. Weather expected to be very bad the next few days. Don't take risk. Better stay put in Singapore.

Fiat_hater Neutral Newbie December 21, 2006 Share December 21, 2006 The Star - 21st Dec 2006 Segamat and Kota Tinggi folks stranded by floods FLOODS worsened in the southern states, with the main roads leading into Kota Tinggi and Segamat in Johor cut off by rising waters since morning. More than 45,000 people in Johor, Malacca, Negri Sembilan and Pahang have been evacuated. Some 200 Tenaga Nasional Bhd (TNB) substations in Johor have been shut down, leaving over 3,500 premises without electricity. Railway services to the south have been cancelled until further notice. Certain areas in Segamat had their water supply cut off after three treatment plants were closed. According to the Meteorological Department, more downpours are expected over the next few days.

Fiat_hater Neutral Newbie December 21, 2006 Share December 21, 2006 Thursday December 21, 2006 Typhoon Utor to blame CYBERJAYA: The flood havoc seen in Johor and other states is the result of a new weather phenomenon. And while people in Johor can look forward to improving conditions by tomorrow, those in Pahang, Malacca, Negri Sembilan and the Klang Valley should remain on the lookout, possibly up to Sunday. Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Datuk Seri Dr Jamaluddin Jarjis said the heavy rainfall was brought by strong winds from the South China Sea and western part of the Pacific Ocean, the after-effect of Typhoon Utor which hit the Philippines recently.

English5b Neutral Newbie December 21, 2006 Share December 21, 2006 I just came back to Singapore yesterday. A small section of NS highway was flooded, around 170km mark if I remember correctly, on the south-bound part. South-bound traffic was diverted to north-bound side. One thing to take note is that: THERE ARE A LOT OF POT HOLES ON NS HIGHWAY. DRIVE VERY CAREFULLY. Try not to drive at night, it may be very hard to spot those pot holes. The pot holes are quite wide spread along Melaka and Johor part of NS Highway, along 170km up to 110km. Most of the pot holes are on slow lane. Several sections were so bad that they have blocked it with "red cones". I believe the holes are caused by heavy rain. I have made 4 trips to KL in Nov/Dec, only saw it yesterday.

Try not to travel at night. It is especially bad when it rains and you visibility is low due to night and rain. Many parts of the NS highway are down to 1 lane, either repair work or barriers (Either by plastic cones or metal poles) and it does not help with slow moving lorries and buses overtaking and then slowing down at the single lanes.
