In yet another headline incident for Yishun, a Yishun resident was left devastated after her long-awaited flat, which had undergone nearly two months of renovation work, was flooded with brown mud. 

The incident occurred on 1 May 2023 after a pipe burst on the fifth floor of the building, leaving the affected unit in shambles with damaged furniture and belongings.

The affected resident, 45-year-old Ms Anita, was two days away from moving into her four-room flat in Yishun with her husband and three children when murky, brown water began gushing out from the drains of her kitchen and toilets at around 1 pm.
