Relax, it only happens once every 50 years. -
If weather like that on polling day then how?

10 months = 50 years? The last flood was July last year, someone correct me if I get this wrong.
-
sorry sorry we will repent
-
Even God also won't help PAP.
This is a sign from God that their mandate is up.
Today there is a flash flood from God.
On May 7, there will be a political Tsunami to wash out the PAP.

Shake hands at Ang Mo Kio in the afternoon, hours later, it flooded. OMG! -_-"
-
Floods are like traffic jams.
You don't solve them, you just shift them to another location.
-
Is this a sign that its the end of PAP?
-
The croonies better lie up in one row and do a apology rally.
The NEA boss have yet to apologise or admit that he is responsible for the poor planning in drainage.
Time to change marina barrage design.

Refer to topic...
SGreans are too intimidated by the ruling ELITE to vote for the opposition based on what some senior ruling party members are "warning SGreans"
Add on: the SORRY SAGA is to tug at SGreans hearts, they noe SGreans are always easy to forget and are very forgiving what the RULING ELITE has done for the past 5 years with a simple apology...
Bring in the opposition to check the RULING ELITE...
Just a simple point to note: AMK flood yest... y?~
coz the drains are filled with dried leaves, just walk around still rd, mountbatten rd and anywhere you should see most drains filled with dried leaves, so is NEA or the Minister in charge doing his job?!
