[Reborn]

Drivers nearby jin brave no sense of danger and vigilance. Hole could easily extend to the sides. Look at the water coming out from the sides.

yeah. the cars stil never quickly reverse, Could just spread further.

Update: One vehicle fell into the sinkhole. The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) rescued the female driver, and conveyed her conscious to Raffles Hospital.



Should be real. MP also mention

If fake news Singapore government will go hard on the guy for sprouting fake news & formenting fear that Singapore roads are death traps

This have to do with the deep excavation at the lower section of the picture. The sinkhole area appears to have been paved recently.

My guess is that the deep excavation has caused settlement to the adjacent road surface and the road is re-paved to level up the settlement. What the contractor may not be aware is that there is a pipe leak underneath the road and the leak water permeates to the underside of the deep excavation bringing along the soil supporting the water main. From the picture, can see there is a water hose coming out of the deep excavation. This is most likely the pumping hose used to dewater the deep excavation.

Amber condo resident can sue LTA until their pants drop?

In overseas its said sinkholes are caused by fracking

If the condominium really is in trouble they can hire a million dollar consultant to do report which says government fault & then sue but no guarantee court will accept it

Wonder if LTA will take responsibility and foot all the bills and give driver new car boh?
