SINGAPORE: Flash floods were reported in Ang Mo Kio on Wednesday evening (Sep 19) amid heavy rain over parts of Singapore.
National water agency PUB warned at 5.47pm of a flash flood at Ang Mo Kio Avenue 6 from Ang Mo Kio Avenue 8 to Avenue 9. Motorists were advised to drive carefully.
PUB subsequently said that the flash floods have subsided in an update at 5.55pm.
Senior business development manager Gary Haris told Channel NewsAsia that the flash floods also occurred at Ang Mo Kio Avenue 4 and Avenue 5.

The 44-year-old said that the flash floods began around 6pm, adding that the water “rushed down like a waterfall” at the staircase leading to a car park.
A Channel NewsAsia reader who did not want to be named said that the market and food centre at Block 628 Ang Mo Kio was affected by the flash floods as well, with waters ankle-deep.
Cars and motorcycles were also partially submerged in muddy waters at the car park next to the market.
