remember the former park next to Orchard MRT station where Filippina maids used to gather during weekends when they had their day off.
The flooding at Orchard/Paterson junction is unusual.
Prior to construction of ION,
the piece of empty land was a big sponge allowing rainwater to flow into the ground.
However, heavy rain falling on the entire complex now cannot flow into the ground directly would naturally
pond at the lowest point
ie. the Orchard/Paterson junction.
suggestions for your next step:
Sell your property if it is in low lying areas to unassuming FTs who have decided to come here to participate in the gold rush.
Even new properties with basement carparks have not been spared eg.
Gentle Reflections at Gentle Road was hit.
The value will drop if everyone follows this trend.
Even if you can get insurance coverage for floods, the premiums will be higher.
The recurring floods has tarnished our image of having 1st class infrastructure. There needs to some answers to these all too frequent 50-year freak events.
