Floods in Singapore are normally associated with heavy rains, especially in low-lying areas.
However, residents living on the seventh floor in Woodlands somehow found themselves wading in ankle-deep water on Sunday (November 1).
Several of them came out of their apartments and were greeted by the rapidly flowing water along the common corridor.
The unusual sight was filmed by a resident and a video clip of the incident made its way to Facebook, where it went viral on Monday.
According to the post, the flooding occurred in Block 185A, Woodlands Street 13.

In the clip, water can be seen gushing out from behind the door of the wet elevator compartment and running through the common areas.
A resident told 8World News that the flooding lasted about two to three hours that day, and the water flowed into his living room.
Another resident added that she saw three cleaners, who she believes were dispatched by the city council, arriving at the scene to help clean up excess water.
The cause of the flooding is said to be related to a faulty wet pipe pump.
When a journalist visited the block the next day, staff from a contractor company mentioned that maintenance work was underway.
AsiaOne has contacted the Marsiling-Yew Tee City Council for more information.
