http://singaporeseen.stomp.com.sg/stomp/sg..._and_other.html Another 50 yrs came by today.

With the relaxing of safe distancing measures kicking in on 19 Aug, 50% of WFH employees are allowed to return to the office. If you are one of those who are still under the WFH arrangement, you would have woken up to a nice cool morning, which is perfect for sleeping in working from home. If you had to go back to the office, well, it sucks to be you. Especially if you live in the East. Why? What started as heavy rain in the wee hours of the morning gradually turned into a flash flood for Singaporeans living in the East. If you missed what happened, watch these videos taken from various perspectives: The flash flood occurred just after Tampines Expressway (TPE) Exit 5, at the junction of Tampines Ave 10 and Pasir Ris Ave 12. What happened? The heavy rain resulted in PUB disseminating numerous flood risk alerts for various locations across the island throughout the morning of 20th August. Here's a video to give you an idea of the intensity and volume of water from today's heavy rain: The flash flood caused a total of 13 vehicles to be partially submerged. As a result of the rising water level, these vehicles could not move due to the excessive water that entered the engine bay. NGL, but I am afraid these vehicles will never be the same again. Aftermath A total of 25 people self-evacuated their vehicles before SCDF officers arrived on the scene, while SCDF officers evacuated 5 other people. The SCDF also conveyed 1 person to Changi General Hospital due to a leg injury. We wish the injured party a speedy recovery!! Netizens' comments Even if the EV won't sot, I also sot from its repair cost. Any SUV owners want to ascertain this? Hahahaha buy already, you dare to bring out and kayak during a flash flood?

heavy rain for whole night. dont know got flood or nt?

picture source:Yahoo! News It certainly felt like Christmas over the past few days with the continual downpour. The 3-day outlook by the National Environment Agency indicates that rain can be expected until Thursday, which is Chinese New Year day itself. Flooding has occurred in areas such as Tampines Ave 12, TPE and Ang Mo Kio Ave 5. It would be disastrous to have your vehicle damaged by floods during this period and below are some tips to observe and points to take note of. Happy motoring and have a pleasant holiday season!

it seems our public servants and engineers did resolve the flooding issues pronto, as no major flooding reported in Dec. We shouldn't just kpkb but give praise when due. Thumbs up to them.

Junction of Bishan St 21 and Jln Pemimpin is flooded @ 5:30pm. Both lanes on Pemimpin side. Several cars mati when I drove past in opposite direction (RI side). Too frequent liao, these "once every 50 years" time travel episodes.

It has been none stop heavy rain for more than 45mins already at my office area. Will there be flooding again? Cannot go out for lunch

Maybe some of you have experienced it before. Nevertheless I'm sharing this story. I was queueing at a fruit juice stall waiting for my turn. A FT (indian) with his boy just stood in front of the cashier while a couple of us were lining up against the stall waiting. Initially his boy was pointing and saying " I want this, I want that". Okay I thought he's looking at the favour only and will soon join the queue. As a minute went by, I realised he wasn't, he is constantly turning his eyes towards me (I happened to be the next person on queue). I quite sure he's trying to play punk and cut queue, using his boy as an excuse. I turn back and look behind, the 2 others behind me was kinda pissed too judging on their looks. I guess I wasn't alone. So when it comes to my turn, I request for my drink, he also requested his. Of course, I got the priority, the Cheena FT seller don't even bothered to look at his direction. Soon, I turn my head and gesture to him, "The queue is behind me" He started to get defensive, "Yah, I know it, my boy, he's active and always running about, I have to stand here so it's easier to hold him' he uttered in his fake slant. Yah, blar, blar.... I just look away, showing a real disgusted look at him. I was seriously thinking to myself :- the F**k you placed your order together with me then? He still persisted standing there. By then, a long queue had gathered behind me, he finally beat a nasty retreat and proceed to the normal drink stall to get his boy's drink. Of course, not before I swipe a cheeky smile at him when he walked by me. What's wrong with these FTs? I simply don't understand why they insist of bringing their own set of rules in SG. The queue is organised and everybody waits patiently ... I can't help but have a bad impression on them. Am I gonna have such lifestyles of fighting during queueing as well? Somebody, pelase share a positive story of FTs so that I don't feel depressed! If not, share a negative story and all get depressed!!

If you've kept up with the papers recently, you would've probably read about the flash floods that've occurred in the Bukit Timah prime district area. Flood waters reached knee-level and some cars were even fully submerged beneath the murky waters. It's hardly surprising but nevertheless traumatic to hear some exotic cars falling victim to the flood. A barely month-old Ferrari F430 was reported to have been completely submerged in the Tessarina condominium carpark. This comes only weeks after watching a video of a Bugatti Veyron plunging into a lake somewhere in the States. It

Hi ALL, My friend driving a 1 year old Honda Fit told me about his recent flooding problems at the driver seat floor board, and ask for my advice. After a heavy downpour, the driver seat floor board will be flooded with water. Anyone has this problem before? What could be the problem? Thanks.

Was informed that heavy rain couple with extreme high tide (today) this afternoon would cause flooding in some low lying areas. So members, beware and take care of your ride. Cheers............

I'll be driving to Genting tomorrow. But these 2 days, the weather is terrible, and the malaysian government has put out flood alert which include JB. My planned route will be from woodland customer to tebrau highway than to N-S highway. Will there be any flooding along this route? Advices much appreciated.

will be driving there on a road trip with 3 frens on Sat gosh, saw the news.......saw alot of flooded villages booked the makohta hotel already anyone knows if my trip will be affected by the flood ? still planning to go jonker walk, portugese settlement etc..

From traffic report, Woodlands Ave 12 flooding, depth over ex-pipe is it? I have to go there for some business, so bad

Hi fellow forumers, I can't believe this could happen. Yes, my driver side floor is flooded. Sounds incredible? I managed to use a cloth and soak out half a pail of water. This is the latest in a series of problems for my Tuscani which has left me disappointed and sad. Went to Komoco at 4+ yesteday, apparently guy said that the aircon tube leading out could be spoilt or evaporator could be spoilt, but bottom line is that it is a 1 day job. Now whenever I turn right, I hear this swishing sound...like water overflow... then my carpet/flooring is soaked with water. I ask him whether this is normal, he says it is not the first time. My car is only 7 mths old with around 15000km. Is this actually acceptable? Now I worry that the wires may be affected and the undercarriage may rust. In the US, this would probably constitute buying a lemon...!!! Any opinions and advice from other drivers here? And I thought only hydrogen fuel cell cars could produce water as a byproduct?
