About This Image:

In the 1970s and 1980s, Potong Pasir, near the Kallang River, faced regular flooding. In 1980, a heavy downpour caused the river to overflow, flooding Meyappa Chettier Road. The photo depicts a family evacuating near their Meyappa Chettiar Road home by sampan. The area is now redeveloped with private condos, and the Kallang River has been embanked, preventing the past flooding from recurring.
