We walked through neck-high water this morning,
This was the highest flooding I've ever seen, it was more than a meter on our first floor,
So far, there is no information regarding Indonesian citizens among the victims of Typhoon Yagi,
We are a bit overwhelmed, very overwhelmed actually,
There's a lot of heartbreak in the city and there was a lot of concern going into the evening,
I only have this one motorbike to go to work with, but it was flooded so I have to bring it here to have it fixed,
The situation is very delicate,
We are rushing to bring out people trapped inside their houses,
The flooding this time has spread over a wider area than the recent floods,
It will be so hard for me to recover from this loss -- I think I will lose up to $40,000 this season,
I never thought my house would be under water this deep,
High flooding water levels have flooded riverside and low-lying areas, eroded dykes and threatened parts of Hanoi and other northern provinces,
Now we have no fresh water and electricity,
My home is now part of the river,
My house's first floor is completely under the water,
This is the worst flood I have seen in 30 years,
People are moving their belongings and vehicles as quickly as they can,
For more than 20 years that I've lived here, I've never seen such historic flooding."
On behalf of the Government of Singapore, I extend my heartfelt condolences to the families of the victims, and my sincere sympathies to all those whose lives have been affected,
I am very sorry to hear of the serious impact of Typhoon Yagi, which has resulted in the tragic loss of lives and severe damage in northern Vietnam,
