If it is flooding in Potong Pasir and Hougang and people cannot get to, or back home from, their MRT stations, do you think they suffer “hypertension” of rescue efforts to relieve the situation?

Too many precious ghosts staying in the “wrong” Bukit wake up the living fearful and too many rebels staying in Potong Pasir and Hougang would probably cause their acute mental blockages.

low class citizens count for nothing.

We paid these ministers millions.

That’s obscene.

However, these clowns don’t even produce anything.

Their pay is beyond obscene.

While other countries can have Mediocre performance,
it would be Rude of us to Expect Mediocre performance from our talents. We should only expect the highest standard.
Anything less is unacceptable.

This BT area was a catchment area, where, when it rained, lots of water is collected.In the early 60s & 70s flooding was the order of the day whenever it rained all along Bukit Timah Road.
However, PUB did do some alleviation works to lessen the floods.But the works done by PUB has since been outdated by the changing landscape as a result of the many condominiums spouting up in and around the areas.PUB has not followed up with the alleviation works in parallel with the changing landscape, as a result, we have this so called ‘freak’ flooding!
This is akin to the large influx of the FTs & FWs flooding Singapore at the present moment.Our infrastructures are not enough to cater for the sudden surge of the FTs & FWs.Jobs and
accomodations are not enough to fit them in.
It’s a vicious cicle, the ministers are all caught with their pants down! That’s why we hear alot of these idiotic excuses
nowadays!!!

This is a case of discrimination against the (supposed) rich. I live in BT area – a supposed rich man area. Every election, there is walkover. Now suddenly there is talk of expanding the canals. Maybe some minister’s car got wet.

It is a common fact that many MPs had committed many grave mistakes in their careers with the government. I am not fully satisfied with their mere sorry(s). i think we need a new team to steer the country back on the right path where the citizens can become happy and contended once again.
