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.
How to reach Liat Towers
