Background: INCESSANT RAIN ON SUNDAY AND MONDAY CAUSED HEAVY FLOODING THROUGHOUT SINGAPORE. THE TRAFFIC SYSTEM WAS IN A STATE OF CHAOS AS SEVERAL MAJOR ROADS WERE IMPASSABLE TO VEHICLES.

THE MAIN TRUCK ROAD FROM SINGAPORE LEADING TO THE MALAYAN PENINSULA OVER THE JOHORE CAUSEWAY WAS THE WORST HIT. HERE THE WATER WAS THREE FEET DEEP AND NO VEHICLES COULD GO THROUGH. HUNDREDS OF CARS STALLED AND THE DRIVERS HAD TO ABANDON THEM AND WADE THROUGH KNEE-DEEP WATERS TO DRY LAND.

IN MANY LOW-LYING VILLAGE AREAS SWIRLING FLOOD WATERS ENTERED THE HOMES OF THE VILLAGERS. MOST OF THEM HAD TO LEAVE THEIR HOMES AND STAY WITH FRIENDS AND RELATIVES.

POLICEMEN MANNED ROAD JUNCTIONS THROUGHOUT THE ISLAND WARNING PEDESTRIAN AND CAR PASSENGERS OF FLOODED AREAS AHEAD. HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WERE STRANDED EVERYWHERE AND POLICEMEN IN BOATS WENT TO THEIR RESCUE.
