FLOOD...

Well well various parts of Singapore is hit by flood (again) after a torrential downpour in the early hours of Saturday morning. Didnt we heard our someone said last month that the freak flooding is cause by choke drain and we shouldnt expect any other freak flooding like that terrorized the poor people in Orchard Road as it was a once in 50years freak flood. But after the supposed clean up, we are hit by another 2 freak flooding. And causing millions of dollars in damages. And someone also mentioned it is very costly to make Singapore flood-free then compare to losing 10 millions dollar in 2hrs of rain is worth it? I believe this 10 millions dollars can build more drainage to filter away more water then go down the drain. And I guess 100years has past since the first freak flood in Orchard Road. Was anything done to prevent all these flooding other then clearing up the drain? This is a very bad publicity to Singapore especially we are gonna host the YOG next month. And we are expecting a high number of tourists coming to Singapore, with our shopping chain submerge in waist deep water, and with more rain expected in the next few days, or even weeks, and if the flooding continue, I think I will open a shop in Orchard Road selling SAMPAN.

Hahahahaa yes I can't wait to see SAMPAN SAMPAN shops opening along Orchard Road! Eh I wonder how much a sampan must pay when it passes an ERP gantry.
