Maintenance checks have been stepped up, though, which led Non-Constituency MP Sylvia Lim to ask if that meant "checks were not done frequently up to now".

Dr Yaacob said quarterly checks prior to the June 16 floods were "adequate", and the authorities decided to increase checks due to the amount of debris that blocked Stamford Canal. "It's not an acknowledgement that something has gone wrong but which was something we learned as we go along and maybe these are the ways we could improve the work we do," he said.

Marina Barrage's role questioned



THE PUB website says this about the Marina Barrage:

"The Marina Barrage is part of a comprehensive flood control scheme to alleviate flooding in the low-lying areas in the city such as Chinatown, Boat Quay, Jalan Besar and Geylang.

"During heavy rain, the series of nine crest gates at the dam will be activated to release excess storm water into the sea when the tide is low.

"In the case of high tide, giant pumps, which are capable of pumping an Olympic-size swimming pool per minute, will drain excess storm water into the sea."

Can PUB explain how effective it has been in controlling flooding in Singapore? In fact, we see more floods after the barrage was built.
