These roads are now passable to traffic.
NETIZENS across Singapore reported flooding in various parts of Singapore due to the heavy downpour on Sunday morning.
Affected areas included the Sennett Estate near Potong Pasir, MacPherson, Toa Payoh, and the Balestier area.
Pearlene Han, a resident of Sennett Estate, said the heavy rains had made it 'impossible to leave the house'.
Fellow netizen Michael Ng said flooding had affected Mandalay Road, in the Balestier area, as well: 'The road looks like a river. Some of the cars at Mandalay Heights condo are stuck at their entrance.'
The floods had caused vehicles to be stuck on MacPherson Lane earlier on Sunday morning, said kom on citizen journalism website STOMP.
'At 8.45am, I was on my way out. I was shocked by the flood at MacPherson Lane. Many cars were stopped in the middle of the road. I'm very disappointed by the drainage system at MacPherson and hope that the authorities would do something about it.'
