This section stretches between Boon Lay Way and Clementi Road and is nearer to the area of the slope failure. NParks and PUB will closely monitor the rain forecast and water level in the canal and will temporarily close the park connector when necessary."Should flooding occur, remain on high ground and avoid walking through floodwaters," it said.
