Due to heavy rain on Sunday there were reports of flash flooding in the Bukit Timah neighborhood.

According to the national water agency PUB, many parts of Singapore experienced heavy rainfall on Sunday afternoon. Due to high water levels in the adjacent drains and Bukit Timah Canal, flash floods started to occur around 5 pm along Dunearn Road and Bukit Timah Road near King Albert Park.

In a Sunday afternoon Facebook post, the agency stated, "PUB's Quick Response Teams were deployed ahead of the rain and later closed off affected lanes, directing traffic away from floodwaters." It was 20 minutes until the flash floods stopped.

The Bukit Timah area is prone to floods, according to PUB, and within the previous 10 years, drainage enhancement projects have been completed along the Bukit Timah Canal and Bukit Timah First Diversion Canal.
