PUB will issue warning 3 days ahead; and aims to further reduce flood-prone areas as part of $1.5 billion project
By Arti Mulchand and Sharmilpal Kaur
IF YOU live in a flood-prone area like Chinatown or Tanjong Katong, you should mark March 21, 22 and 23 on your calendar.
Those are the days when the tide is expected to rise to 3m.
The weatherman said that there will be short morning and afternoon showers on a few days from now until March 15, but it is too soon to tell if it will rain on March 21, 22 and 23.
But should the skies open up then, expect another flash flood like what happened on Monday when the tide hit 3.4m.
Singapore is being buffeted by the North-east Monsoon which brings with it spells of heavy rain, especially in the afternoon. This monsoon period stretches from late November till the end of March.
Yesterday, the Public Utilities Board told The Straits Times that residents and shop owners in low-lying areas are warned each year about such 'high tide' days. One such warning issued on Nov 10 raised the possibility of Monday's flood. But residents and shop owners were still caught offguard.
Mr Mohamed Nur Shafiq, 42, who lives in Kampung Lorong Buang Kok, said: 'I totally forgot about it, and I think if they issue another warning closer to the date it would help... I wasn't thinking about flooding at all during those few days.'
He will get his wish. The PUB said it will now remind residents and shop owners about the possibility of flooding three days in advance.
Those living in Jervois Road, Changi Lorong 101 to 106, and Benoi Road and Industrial Road in Jurong might soon be free of floods as major projects are underway to expand the drains there.
It is part of a $1.5 billion project that has spanned over 20 years since 1982, reducing flood-prone areas from an original of nearly 3,200 ha, to 158 ha - nearly half the size of Sentosa.
The PUB's aim is to keep on reducing the size of flood-prone areas to 110 ha by 2007.
Last year, there were six flash floods, compared with seven in 2002, eight in 2001 and 10 in 2000.
Mr Mohamad is taking no chances now. He is going to a timber merchant to pick up some plywood, before the next wave hits.
'I'm going to build a wooden table for the washing machine, and one for my new television set since the water destroyed the last one, and a long bench for my sofa bed,' he said.
'It's all going to have to move higher so even if the water comes in, it won't matter.'

Raindrops keep falling on my head,
And just like the guy whose feet are
Too big for his bed,
Nothing seems to fit.
Those raindrops are falling on my head,
They keep falling.
So I just did me some talking to the sun,
And I said I didnÂ’t like the way he got things done,
Sleeping on the job.
Those raindrops are falling on my head
They keep falling.
But thereÂ’s one thing I know,
The blues they send to meet me wonÂ’t defeat me
It wonÂ’t be long till happiness steps up to greet me.
Raindrops keep falling on my head,
But that doesnÂ’t mean my eyes will soon be turning red,
CryingÂ’s not for me.
Cause IÂ’m never gonna stop the rain
By complaining.
Because IÂ’m free, nothingÂ’s worrying me.
It wonÂ’t be long till happiness steps up to greet me.
Raindrops keep falling on my head,
But that doesnÂ’t mean my eyes will soon be turning red,
CryingÂ’s not for me.
Cause IÂ’m never gonna stop the rain
By complaining.
Because IÂ’m free, nothingÂ’s worrying me.
