A member of the public has highlighted to TOC that a flash flood has occurred near Block 14 and 15 at Joo Seng Road today (30 April) due to heavy rain this evening.
Based on the video sent to us by the netizen, one can see that almost half of the parked vehicles’ tyres were submerged in water, while another car can be seen manoeuvring slowly through the flood.

The man also pointed out that this is not the first time this place has been flooded following a heavy downpour. He added that this has been happening for eight years now.
In fact, the netizen shared with us a photo of the same location being flooded taken back in 2016.

If that’s not all, he also mentioned that the same spot was also covered in water causing inconvenience to the public in 2012. However, no picture of this was taken.
But, national water agency PUB took to its official Facebook page in 2012 to note about this flooding incident.

According to today’s weather report by the National Environment Agency (NEA), it stated that most areas in the city-state will be experiencing rain, with some areas even experiencing thundery showers.
TOC has reached out to Associate Professor Fatimah Lateef (MP for Marine Parade GRC) for her comments on this matter and is yet to receive a reply.

没攻击毕丹星人格 尚穆根指陈有明文章“认真、有想法”

上周五(19日),贸工部兼外交部高级政务次长陈有明医生,在人民行动党官网发文,非议工人党秘书长毕丹星声援亚菲言(Alfian Sa’at),也翻旧账指亚菲言并非爱国的“友爱批评者”( loving critics),过去曾袒护马来西亚和马哈迪。 然而此举却遭网民挞伐,有网民指陈有明有临近选举“搏出位”之嫌,再者,也列举选举局守则,候选人在选举中应负责任和庄严,避免以仇恨或诋毁对手的方式竞选。 行动党成员遭网民挞伐,内政暨律政部长尚穆根则选择为之辩护,指陈有明提出的文章是“认真、有想法”的。 他也解释,亚菲言曾主张新马合并;当马国船只闯入争议水域时,亚菲言指新加坡是极端爱国主义的,也“站在马国立场”。 尚穆根称这是自由国度,亚菲言有权表达自己的看法,但毕丹星作为反对党领袖,若要在国会声援亚菲言,指后者是“友爱的批判者”,那么在健全民主制度下,他们有权质问,毕丹星究竟站在哪一边? 他也指在刘程强领导下的工人党,即便持有不同意见,但政治止于国门,不会站在其他国家立场对付新加坡。 “这不是在攻击毕丹星人格,而是合理的提问。”
