One Bukit Batok resident was shocked to discover water seeping from the joints of her kitchen wall when she woke up on the morning of July 29.

"We live on the 12th floor, which is the highest floor. We weren't sure whether the leak was due to the changing of the water tank, so we contacted the town council.
