The recent flooding all over the island lately tells us on thing.
One, climate change has caused an increased in rain fall where once it only happens in 50 years have started to occur annually. This has been proven further with the flooding at places we never expected and the occurrence of such "freak" floods twice within a week.
Two, our drainage infrastructure needs to be upgraded as they can no longer handle the amount of rain water pouring down. Climate have changed, infrastructure needs to be upgraded rather than relying on those laid down by our forefathers. The PUB can no longer shift the blame to clot drains and give "freak flood that occurs every 50 years" excuses. Or worse still having your PM comes out and tell you to accept the fact the Singapore can't be flood-free. The all too famous "whatever has happen has happen, let's move on, it's a honest mistake" crap.
If the government continue to be so Evian (thanks Chillycraps), then they better start mentally prepared to get freak results in the next election. In the meantime, I will look out for flood damage coverage when renewing my car insurance.
