Tue, 28 Oct 2025 05:39:55 +0000

Many residents are frustrated and feel overwhelmed by the frequent flooding, especially after heavy rains. Some say entire streets, houses, and businesses have been submerged.

Some believe illegal structures and construction encroaching on drainage channels — especially along Systems 156, 157, 44, 44A, and 46 — are major reasons why flooding keeps getting worse.

There’s anxiety about how sudden some of the demolitions appear. People say they weren’t adequately informed or compensated, even though government says notices had been sent.

Concerns & Emotions:

Loss of property and displacement: For those whose homes were demolished, it’s not just about bricks and mortar — there’s loss of memories, security, where children sleep, etc.

Fear and uncertainty: Many are worried about what will happen in the next big rain. If drainage isn’t improved, they worry the problem will get worse or recur.

Trust issues with the government: Some feel the government should do more than demolish — they want better planning, clearer communication, transparency in permit approvals, and compensation.

What They Want
Better, more reliable drainage systems and infrastructure that can handle heavy rainfall.

Clearer policies and enforcement so that illegal structures are prevented before they become major hazards.

Compassionate handling of affected residents: giving more time, assistance in relocating, possibly compensation where necessary.

More accountability: People want to know how permits were approved, who decided certain constructions were legal, and why some structures seem to persist despite regulations.
