RESIDENTS affected by the proposed Petaling Jaya Dispersal Link (PJD Link) Expressway are relieved again that the controversial project has been discontinued.

SINGAPORE: Singapore Airlines has rerouted a flight bound for Dubai due to heavy floods at the city’s international airport.

SIA is working closely with the authorities on immigration clearance in Muscat for passengers on board the flight. Once clearance has been given, all affected passengers will be transferred to hotels there, added the spokesman. Flight SQ494 was due to fly from Singapore to Dubai, while flight SQ495 was scheduled to fly the opposite route.

Dubai, the Middle East’s financial centre, has been paralysed by the torrential rain that caused floods around the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, and left 18 dead in Oman on April 14 and 15.
