FLOODS, UNLEASHED BY THE HEAVIEST RAINFALL EVER RECORDED IN A SINGLE DAY, SWAMPED SINGAPORE. THE WORST HIT AREA WAS THE FARM BELT STRETCHING ACROSS WOODLANDS, BRADDELL ROAD, POTONG PASIR AND CHANGI. AT LEAST 2,000 PIGS AND A LARGE NUMBER OF POULTRY HAVE PERISHED AS FLOOD WATERS SWOLLEN BY HEAVY RAIN, SWIRLED THROUGH THE FARMS ON SATURDAY AND SUNDAY MORNING. PICTURE SHOWS PIGS STOICALLY AWAIT RESCUE IN THEIR PENS AS RISING WATER LEVEL SLOWLY CREEPS UP TO THEIR SNOUTS.
