SINGAPORE SWIMMING

TRAFFIC jams, floods, felled trees, a collapsed shophouse and mudslides. And no wonder — Singapore hadn't seen a wetter day since 1978, and yesterday took one of its worst batterings from the skies in 75 years.
.At 10.30am, residents near Little Guilin rushed to their windows when they heard a loud roar. They were met by the sight of a mass of mud — with a cargo of shrubs and plants — sliding down the quarry.
.Two hours later, a landslide uprooted a tree at Jalan Dermawan, near Hillview Estate, and residents in the nearby private estate had to be evacuated.
.In the Mohamad Sultan area, the facade and wall of a vacant shophouse caved in as flooding weakened the foundation of the old building.
.The Johor-Singapore rail services were also disrupted, as mudslides and floods made the tracks impassable.
.The heavy rain, which had persisted since Monday night, prompted the meteorological service to put out an advisory yesterday morning, warning the public to exercise caution and look out for flash floods in low-lying areas.
.Floods forced many roads to be closed, especially in the northern parts of the island. Among the worst hit were the Thomson and Mandai areas.
.Even the reservoirs collected more than they could hold – the downpours led to spillage at the MacRitchie and Upper Seletar water catchment areas.
.The weather was also to blame for at least one traffic accident yesterday. According to the police, a vehicle travelling along the CTE towards Jalan Bukit Merah skidded on the wet road and crashed into the centre divider. One woman was injured and had to be sent to the Singapore General Hospital.
.The total level of rainfall recorded in 20 hours between midnight and 8pm last night was 345mm – more than the December average of 284mm. In 1978, the highest rainfall recorded over 24 hours was 512mm, while the second highest was 467mm in 1969.
.Deliveryman Foo Jin Cheng, 44, who drove past Upper Thomson yesterday, said: "This is the first time I've seen a flood this bad. This is the worst flood I've seen in Singapore."
