Reading this article, I was genuinely surprised that flash floods took place in Singapore. I have always thought that Singapore has one of the best drainage systems. Looking at photos and videos at the floods available on the internet, it looked worse than what I had imagined it to be.
The number of people injured and trapped plus the number of fallen trees along the roads serves as a reminder to Singaporeans to be more vigilant. In addition, shops in Orchard Road were also badly affected and businesses were disrupted. We should take the initiative to be more proactive and equip ourselves with the knowledge so that we will be more prepared the next time such a flash flood takes place. The government also should ensure that the proper measures are put in place to prevent a similar flashflood from happening again.
