Heavy rainfall across Singapore for two hours caused flash floods in Bukit Timah on Sunday (Dec 29), leaving some cars partially submerged in floodwaters.
National water agency PUB issued flood risk warnings for nearly 20 locations including Bukit Timah, Toa Payoh, Choa Chu Kang and Chinatown.
One heavily impacted area was along Tan Kim Cheng Road where the Lutheran Towers are located.
Speaking with 8world, a car owner surnamed Zhang said that he was alerted by his mother about the flash flood at around 5.20pm.
The flooding today is particularly severe, he said. In the past, the water level only reached my ankles, but this time it was up to my waist - high enough to kayak.
He estimated the water level to be about a metre high.
Zhang and other people who parked their cars in the area were also seen removing water from their cars at 6.20pm.
