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."
