THE Bukit Timah canal burst its banks for the first time in years yesterday, unable to contain the afternoon's downpour.
As a result, two stretches of Bukit Timah Road - from Coronation Road to Third Avenue and from Wilby Road to Blackmore Drive - were under water in one of the worst floods in recent years.
The storm, six times the intensity of an average shower here, drenched the Bukit Timah area with close to half a month's worth of rain in about half an hour, said the PUB, the national water agency.
