SINGAPORE: Heavy rain fell across Singapore on Tuesday (Jan 30) afternoon, causing a flash flood at Seletar North Link. A fallen tree was also reported on Tampines Expressway (TPE).
The Land Transport Authority (LTA) tweeted at 5.10pm that the Yio Chu Kang Road exit on the TPE was closed due to an “obstacle”, which Channel NewsAsia understands was a fallen tree.
