The Big Story Ep 109: Analysing Singapore's defences against flash floods
Synopsis: This is a special episode of The Straits Times' video series The Big Story, hosted by Hairianto Diman and Olivia Quay.
More rain pelted western Singapore in three hours on Tuesday (Aug 24) morning than the country had previously recorded for the whole month of August.
The heavy rain brought about a flash flood that caused roads to become impassable in Dunearn Road between Sime Darby Centre and Binjai Park. PUB said the flood subsided within 40 minutes. This is the second time this year that a flash flood has occurred in Dunearn Road near Sime Darby Centre. On April 17, heavy rain caused a similar incident.
Science and environment correspondent Audrey Tan talks about why the area is seeing a repeat of flooding. She also shares more on Singapore's infrastructure to guard against flooding.
