A sinkhole appeared on Tanjong Katong Road South on Jul. 26.
Members of Parliament (MP) Gho Sze Kee and Goh Pei Ming spoke to the media on the same day, assuring Singaporeans that the area is stable and safe.
The authorities have started to perform scans at the area, and will ensure that it is secure before they start draining the water in the sinkhole.
However, they assured that "the area is stable".
In addition, in the event that there are water disruptions, the authorities will also step in.
As of time of writing, an approximate timeline of repairs has not been confirmed.
While work is expected to go on overnight, they do not want to put pressures on the agencies involved as they hope that this issue will be approached "safely and systematically".
LTA putting together advisory on traffic diversion
They also shared that the Land Transport Authority (LTA) is currently putting together an advisory on how traffic will be diverted while works are ongoing.
The MPs also shared that the female driver whose car fell into the sinkhole was conveyed conscious to the hospital.
