A flash flood has occurred at Ang Mo Kio Central where a newly-opened NTUC FairPrice outlet seemed to be the hardest-hit. According a STOMPer, the water levels of the floods were 10cm high.

 

In a response sent in by the supermarket chain, patrons were escorted out of the outlet before staff members cleaned up the affected areas.

 

A spokesperson for FairPrice wrote:

 

"At 3pm today, water had seeped into our store located at Blk 712, Ang Mo Kio Ave 6.

 

"Our staff reacted immediately by escorting customers out to ensure their safety.

 

"We were able to clean up the affected areas within the hour and resumed business only after ascertaining that all products have not been affected and are safe for our customers.

 

"We are working closely with the building management and town council to ascertain the cause of the water seepage and to ensure this does not occur again."

Do you guys find that the rains nowadays seem a lot heavier? Yesterday afternoon i was driving on the CTE from Yishun to Novena when it just poured. Visibility was so bad that all the cars had to slow down significantly (of coz still got some very "gung-ho" drivers drive like they have clear view of the roads ahead).

This is most likely a maintenance issue already. I used to hang out there and had not seen such an occurance, amk central that area had not changed much.

 

It is likely a drainage issue....

Whatever it is, kindly keep left if you intend to slow down.. Heavy rain does not give you the permit to road hog on lane 1.. Thank you. [:)]
