When the sinkhole is repaired some motorists may have a phobia of driving on that stretch of road -though it will be certified safe

Any land beyond east coast road to the sea is reclaimed land which is sand. Sand is nvr stable.

Example of sand reclaimed land r marina south/east, jurong island, changi airport, tekong.

V tricky if u wana dig there, cos sand v easy to give way.
Should be any land beyond marine parade is reclaimed. Chapel road has always been there.

dont believe check out sea breeze lodge choa family bungalow and the mansion off still road

There is pressure to quickly open the road in the affected area to traffic. However by just filling up the collapse/expose part pf the sinkhole will not address the problem completely. The ground loss area is much larger than the expose sinkhole. Should trace the ground loss starting from the water main burst area the night before to all the way to the surrounding of the sewer construction shaft. This ground loss area if not remedied, it will be a matter of time, will cause ground settlement which may result in pipe burst.

Opposition gave walkover in Marine Parade GRC because they know they aren't qualified to handle crisis like sinkholes.
If WP take over Marine Parade also need PUB,LTA do investigation and involve too...

They need to study other site will be affected or not;)

Think the driver froze, don't know how to react. If the driver ram on the accelerator the moment felt the sinking feeling, maybe got chance to clear it before it collapsed fully. There is a few seconds before the road totally gave way and sink.
There is a big hole there but driver car did not drop to direct hole consider lucky.

If the road collapsed,think no chance to survive;)

Seriously, why is the MP fronting this ?
Whilst he is the MP for the vicinity, such a disruptive sinkhole impacts more than just residents in the vicinity.

It's part of our road infrastructure.
Shouldn't a more appropriate person be fronting this ?

Maybe tio arrow to do this lor. :ROFLMAO:

I am also surprised that he is so involved unless he is an expert in that field, maybe he is, I don’t know.

how the worker actually can tell that the road's about to sink?

he felt the vibrations? think the female car driver might be unsure what was the message that he tried to relay
maybe on earpiece talking to another person?

then the foreman who's one of the main saviour, can't speak English properly when being interviewed
midway he switched to his mother tongue, more convenient :o

but he's been working here for 22 years already
