SINGAPORE: Unauthorised drainage works by construction company Samwoh Corporation caused severe flooding at the junction of Tampines Avenue 10 and Pasir Ris Drive on Aug 20, said national water agency PUB, adding that it will be taking enforcement action against the firm.
Samwoh had also failed to seek PUB’s approval to proceed with the proposed drainage diversion works, said the agency. PUB’s water level sensors showed that Sungei Api Api, which discharges to the sea, was about half full at the time of the flooding incident. “This location is not a flood-prone area nor a flood hotspot – the stormwater drainage system is more than adequate to cope with the rainfall intensity experienced on Aug 20,” said PUB.

The company might be responsible for the flood due to unauthorised works. But shouldn’t PUB be held accountable at the same time? Why only blame the company?
