1978 Singapore flood
The 1978 Singapore flood was one of the worst floods in Singapore's history. Monsoon rains contributed to this disaster on 2 December 1978. There were seven casualties, and more than a thousand residents were evacuated from their homes by the army and police boats from five affected areas. Total damage reached S$10 million, the worst flood since the Hari Raya floods that hit the island in December 1969.
