There'll always be floods...Nothing much to say. There'll always be floods somewhere on this island even if the biggest deepest drains are built. My opinion is that the island is overbuilt and no amount of engineering can compensate for nature's ying and yang balance.<br /><br />The topography of the island has changed and areas that previously were not flood-prone, are now attracting larger volumes of water.<br /><br />Additionally, some areas are not much above sea level. In future, rising sea levels may make the situation worse. Engineers cannot play God nor are they able to outsmart nature. <br /><br />I'm looking at you HDB and PUB.HORACE WEE (GUITAR LEGEND, PROFESSIONAL MUSICIAN)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574244939174327228.post-76522069546340687352018-01-08T22:24:23.684+08:002018-01-08T22:24:23.684+08:00Gosh...if this is just the beginning of the global...Gosh...if this is just the beginning of the global warming weather and this is just a one morning storm, I dread to think if the rain persists!<br /><br />We'll be like our neighbouring countries.
