Information About

This photograph shows a long stretch of the Bukit Timah canal which is overflowing with flood water. It also captures the row of trees above the water. A devastating storm in mid-December 969 crippled Bukit Timah, even as the government's major flood alleviation project to divert water from the Bukit Timah canal through Ulu Pandan to the sea was underway.
