PETALING JAYA, May 31 A Singapore cafe has apologised for claiming to serve nasi padang “without the nasties” in a now-deleted Instagram post.
The Ritual, located on Bukit Timah Road, posted a statement on their Instagram over the weekend admitting that the choice of words they used to refer to a “locally-inspired” dish was “inappropriate” and “insensitive.”
SINGAPORE - A low-lying section of the park connector along Ulu Pandan Canal that was flooded on April 17 will be raised in tandem with future developments, Minister for Sustainability and the Environment Grace Fu told Parliament on Monday (May 10).
She was responding to questions from Mr Christopher de Souza (Holland-Bukit Timah GRC) about the flash floods that occurred on April 17 during intense rainfall, including what would be done to prevent a similar occurrence in the future.
While acknowledging that flash floods occurred at the 300m-long stretch along Ulu Pandan Canal, Ms Fu noted that major roads in the area, which is served by the canal, such as Clementi Road, Clementi Avenue 6, Commonwealth Avenue West and Ayer Rajah Expressway, were not flooded.

SINGAPORE: It would be impractical to expand Singapore’s drains to accommodate all instances of extreme rainfall as this would require “massive land take and much higher costs”, said Minister for Sustainability and the Environment Grace Fu.
Speaking in Parliament on Monday (May 10), Ms Fu noted that drainage design standards were raised a decade ago to cater for higher intensity rainfall, in line with national water agency PUB’s efforts to address the impact of climate change.
