Singapore Flash Flood vs Flood in USA Hurricane Sandy

After a heavy rain in Singapore this afternoon 31 Oct 2012, couldn't help but to compare the 2 floods that are happening almost on the same day.  What a vast difference!
Are we going to complain about the flash floods after watching the videos below?

Reader Derrick Tan took this video of a flash flood along Balestier Road 
outside Boon Tong Kee restaurant in the afternoon of 31 Oct 2012.

This flash flood is indeed powerful, a car was "drifted away for 50m" near Nanyang Technological University on 31 Oct 2012.

昨天中午全岛各地下起狂风暴雨，南洋理工大学校园一带发生车祸，两辆汽车疑雨天路滑，在交界处相撞，其中一辆车竟然撞破路旁沟渠的护栏，一头栽进大沟渠。

由于雨势猛烈，沟渠水流湍急，"汽车被冲走50米"，车中当时还有司机和一名乘客。所幸这两人成功自行爬出车外，死里逃生。掉落沟渠的汽车过后也被民防拖出。南大受询时证实，车祸双方的司机和乘客都是南大学生，两名司机都安然无恙，乘客则受轻伤，但医护人员现场施救，无需送院。两名司机也已同意私下处理此事。( Lian He Wan Bao )

Stray Cats Roaming Freely & Peaceful With Humans

The stray cats here are happily living and roaming around without being harmed, except for a few cases of stray cats being trapped on the ledge.

The stray cats can use the lift to go up or if they prefer to exercise can use their legs by doing some walking on their fours. Many a times u will be able to see a stray cat by the name of Hong Hong outside hdb units, sleeping peacefully or asking for permission to enter your home. Not only are the stray cats on the ground, there is also a stray cat that can be seen walking above your head.  

There is once, I spotted a playful blackie dog having fun chasing after the stray cats. 
The stray cats "played along", one even chased blackie back, wow!

The cats here are dun seem to be  afraid of humans and even their "arch-enemy" dogs (stray or domesticated). Whenever the stray cat see a dog barking at them, they will either look away or adopt a defensive position, usually the former.

The stray cats are fed every 2 - 3 times per day by volunteers cat lovers. Treatment of cats injuries are also being performed by Mr Jimmy who provides supper for the stray cats. He also will call up for  sterilization of cats.
Not forgetting Mdm Wong who provides of breakfast & supper for the stray cats.

See photos below:

Stray Cat Cheeky Thrown Down from Ang Mo Kio Blk 716 on 24 Oct 9pm

A stray cat named Cheeky was thrown down from a building at Ang Mo Kio Blk 716 on the night of 24 Oct 2012. The CWS has put up a reminder for cat owners to refrain their pets from roaming around their flat, see highlighted text in yellow below.
 

Strangely stray cats in the west have been living peacefully without being harmed even when they go up to the hdb units or roaming freely on the first level. One was even being adopted by a resident.

There are however  a few cases of 2 cats being left outside the wall parapet though (either by someone or cat jumped over by themselves), see story. We really can't be sure that stray cats are safe nowadays especially the world we are living in is full of violence and pressures.

Cat feeder feeding the stray cats roaming on the 1st level

The cat welfare society has responded to the news report on CWS  facebook page: "It's a sad day as a well loved cat was thrown down to its death from a high floor. SPCA, AVA and police are alerted and an appeal for witnesses and information. This is the second corridor roaming cat this year that has met this fate. While this act of cruelty is condemned and we want the culprit found, we would like to remind all NOT to let your pet cats roam or lure community cats upstairs by feeding them outside your unit "

who can find the person responsible for throwing the cat,

An Ang Mo Kio resident has put up a $1,000 reward to find the person responsible for throwing a cat to its death from a Housing Board flat.

Lianhe Wanbao and Shin Min Daily News reported on 25 Oct Thursday that the incident happened at about 9pm on 24 Oct Wednesday, at Block 716 Ang Mo Kio Avenue 6.

Madam Tan See Dee, 48, offered the reward on Thursday. She learnt of the incident through friends. She fed the black-and- white cat, known to residents as Cheeky, for two to three years.

The stray cat would go to the void deck of Block 716 at 3.30pm every day, waiting for her to return from work, she told Shin Min.

SMRT Down at Dhoby Ghaut & Harbour Front on 24 Oct 2012 approx 11pm

Received a ReTweeted msg from SMRT around 11pm on 25 Oct, it says
there is a power fault between Dhoby Ghaut and Harbour Front station.
And it back to normal again at around 11:18 pm.  

What a good way to communicate, so that commuters can seek transport alternatives.

Thanks so much for the tweets.
