Floods in Singapore, Who should bear the responsibilities?

Recently, Singapore has been hit by floods on several occasions due to thunderstorms happening around Singapore. The biggest case was when Orchard road was flooded, causing the shops like Massimo Dutti, Hermes, Wendys and Starbucks to be flooded. It is said that this was the worst flood that has hit Singapore since 24 years ago.

PUB is largely responsible for all the floods in Singapore. The drainage system in Singapore should be well managed. However, the recent flooding in countless places in Singapore has brought negative comments to how the Public Utilities Board (PUB) atually manages proper drainage system. Global warming has brought harm to Earth, resulting in unpredictable weather.

As we all can feel it, certain days are extremely humid and some days are wet. Thus, I think that Singapore's National Water Agency should really look into this matter as if will affect the automobile travelling on the road. On the contrary, there isn't any definite solution to this as it is nature.

However, agencies who manages drainage system in Singapore should really take some actions to reduce the chances of flooding. There is many consequences due to a flood. Shops stationed at the ground level will be affected badly as water might just flow in and destroy their goods. Houses located at the ground level will also be affected.

Therefore, I think that PUB should be responsible for these floods that has been happening in Singapore as well as those agencies managing the drainage system here.
