Construction firm charged over flood in Pasir Ris

Construction firm Samwoh Corp was charged in a district court on Tuesday over alleged unauthorised works that led to a flood in Pasir Ris on Aug 20.

A drain, which was purportedly altered by the firm, is said to be one of the causes for knee-high water to inundate a 200m section of the traffic junction of Tampines Avenue 10 and Pasir Ris Drive 12.

The drain is located along Tampines Avenue 10, between Tampines Industrial Avenue 5 and Tampines Link.
