SINGAPORE: Flash floods were reported across parts of Singapore on Tuesday morning (Aug 24) as heavy rain fell across the island.
National water agency PUB said in a Facebook post that flash floods occurred at Dunearn Road from Sime Darby Centre to Binjai Park at 10.08am, before subsiding at around 10.50am.
The agency also issued flood risk warnings at four locations, as water levels in drains and canals reached 90 per cent in those areas.
They are: Upper Bukit Timah Road from Hazel Park Terrace to Chestnut Drive, Kranji Expressway at Woodlands Road exit, Sime Darby Centre and Sunset Drive/Sunset Way.
Photos and videos sent in by CNA readers showed vehicles on flooded roads, including at Cashew Road. A car park also appeared flooded at Teban Gardens.
Footage circulated on social media showed rain seeping into Bukit Timah Plaza.
When CNA visited the shopping mall at about 12.30pm, shopkeepers were seen mopping their storefronts and using blower machines to dry the floors in their units.
A security guard said the floods started at about 10.30am with water from the heavy rain flowing into the mall from a pedestrian walkway nearby.
