Grace Fu on January monsoon surges and review of drainage systems
Singapore experienced two monsoon surges which brought about prolonged rain in January. There was one incident of flooding at Jalan Seaview. While PUB had upgraded the roadside, the longer-term plan is to reclaim and build Long Island which protects the East Coast area, including Jalan Seaview, from rising sea levels. Sustainability and the Environment Minister Grace Fu said this in reply to MPs’ questions in Parliament on Tuesday (Feb 4). She told the House that there are 19 ongoing drainage upgrading works, with six more projects slated to commence in 2025. The Government is reviewing the drainage infrastructure plan for the next review cycle of FY2026 to 2030. *Audio issues inherent from source
