Flood in Singapore

It's raining, it's pouring, oh wait look, Orchard Road's flooding. Surprise surprise! I don't mean that literally though. As you can see, or heard or even read, flooding has been occurring to not just neighbourhood areas, but also in town. Yes, our most well known town areas has been flooded. I'm not that surprised. Why so?

Well, basically the Earth is not getting any younger. Singapore has been developing year after year. Developments are suppose to imporve our standard of living. However, what if these developments went overboard? Take for example the mrt tracks. Singapore has been expanding it thoroughly to make it more convenient for us. But, is it convenient for Singapore's "life"? What i'm trying to say is, in order to build more tracks, more land is needed therefore more digging is required. When more digging is done, what is Singapore left with? Us, living on land where it's beginning to sink soon.

So, who are to be blame? This is a tough call. But, i have to go with the government. Yes, fair enough that the government is trying to improve the standard of Singapore, but they shouldn't have oversee this issue. All in all, we can't stop Mother Nature's Callings.
