Flood in Singapore: who should be responsible? This have been a talking topic of the public recently when Singapore have been raining heavily recently causing flood in man areas. i felt that there is no exact person or organisation that should bear the responsibility as everyone have a part in it. The drainage were blocked by rubbish; these are the public's responsibilities. The rubbish in the drains were not cleared; these are the Public Utilities Board's responsibilities. And the governtment also have their responsibilities to ensure that the drains are cleared of rubbish and water can flow through them well.

We could also say that no one is at fault as the rain was a natural process and no one could control the amount of rain that would fall. No one could predict the amount of rainfall there will be on those days of flood. Even if the drainage system and everything was in good condition, there could still be a flood if the rain continued for many days.

Therefore, we should not push the blame and let others bear the consequences. We should learn from this and try to improve the places to be a better place and do not throw rubbish into the drains as it will obstruct the drainage. We should also learn how to deal with such cases to prepare ourselves for any similar problems in the future, as a saying goes; once bitten, twice shy.
