Flood waters engulf low-lying areas of Upper Thomson Road

SINGAPORE: It was a wet wet day for many of the shophouses along the Upper Thomson and Mandai Road areas.
One of the areas was more badly affected by flood waters.
Tuesday night was supposed to have been its fifth anniversary celebration dinner for the Nee Soon South Estates Association Club.
Instead, the party was washed out by rising flood waters which started early Tuesday morning.
Alan Ng, Committee Member, Nee Soon South Estates Association Club, says: "I was here about 930am. My reaction was 'Oh my god, where's my car?' When I saw the water, I couldn't believe it because the flood was never that serious. It's very serious."
But it wasn't just the club grounds that got submerged.
The club lost about 90 of an estimated 100 koi fish, worth about S$10,000, which made a break for freedom when the pond got submerged.
Other damages are expected to be substantial.
Tony Guan Wee Keang, Vice President, Nee Soon South Estates Association Club, says: "Hopefully, not more than S$100,000 and again, we hope our insurer will be kind enough to pay us - in full or in part.
"I will say the main damage will be the flooring part and some of the furniture and I believe some of the equipment are also damaged."
Due to a pipeline that is directly connected to the nearby reservoir, water currents kept coming in strongly.
But while these club members just had to sit it out, just down the road, rescue officials swung into action.
In the SingTel office, flood waters inside reached waist level, prompting SCDF officers to bypass the main gate and cut a hole in the side fence to extricate Leon Fei.
Mr Fei says: "I thought it was only to my knee level. As I walked half-way, the water reached my belt so I had to carry on."
Earlier on in the day, road after road in the area got cordoned off as water levels rose.
Flood waters lapped at the fronts of coffee shops, keeping many confined inside.
Many motorists were in the same predicament as Steve Lee whose car got partially submerged and wouldn't start
