Liat Towers (GPS: 1.30519, 103.83059) is an office block along the Orchard Road Shopping Belt in Singapore. It is located next to Wheelock Place along Orchard Road. The podium houses a shopping mall with a few restaurants and stores, among them Wendy's, Burger King, Starbucks Coffee, Orange Julius and Massimo Dutti.
On 16 June 2010, Liat Towers was one of the shopping malls badly affected by a flood created by the heavy downpour. The flood caused some material damage to some stores which were forced to close.
As a mesure against future floods, pop-up flood barriers were erected outside Liat Towers. These barriers will rise to form a 36-meter-long, 90-cm-tall wall to safeguard the building against floods. When raised, the wall forms a water-tight seal to prevent water from passing through.
Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
