Orchard Road Flood

Orchard was transformed into the Rochor Canal on 16 June. The typical Singaporeans came out with their guns blazing. It's the fault of the leaders, the PUB, etc, etc. We are quick to condemn and slow (or never) to praise. Apparently we hate to admit when people do a good job.

But they failed to note or failed to comment that:

1. the flooding subsided very fast after the rain stopped - this implies we have good drainage!
2. the MRT was not flooded whereas Lucky Plaza (LP) was - we know how to prevent it!

Did they ask why? Why didn't LP take preventive actions - although they were not required by law, why didn't they think of their tenants?
