Bukit Timah has always been a flooding area since I lived there more than 30 years ago. Very big problem with going to school when there's rain. It has improved in recent years but in my opinion not good enough.

The Bukit Timah First Diversion Canal has undergone major upgrades to protect the catchment from flash floods.

When ask , they surely will say " Due to uncertain , global climate changes " they surely will take other countries as an example.

IF things works, they will Brag.
