TMC Polda Metro Informs Of 70 Cm High Inundation, Warganet: Don't Be Shy About Floods, Sir

JAKARTA - One of the tweets from the TMC Polda Metro Jaya Twitter account is being commented on by netizens. Even though this account is providing information about the existence of puddles in Central Jakarta.

"There is a puddle of water as high as 60-70 cm in the slow lane of Jl. Letjend R Suprapto after Tl. Cempaka Putih which will go to Simpang Lima Senen. For temporary drivers it is diverted through the fast lane and busway lane. Drivers are encouraged to be careful," TMC Polda Metro admin tweeted on Tuesday, January 18th.

This tweet was posted at 2:37 p.m. WIB.

It is rare for netizens to comment on TMC's tweets. But this time they commented on the use of the phrase inundation to describe the water level as high as 60-70 cm.

Netizens do not agree that water that high is still categorized as a puddle. So they are busy spilling their thoughts in the comments column.

"Puddle????" write @kenhan***.

"When it says puddle, Mimin says it's a flood, don't turn the flood into a puddle, it can break down, it's a car and a motorbike," wrote @LaingenLisa.

"Aahh... you're joking... don't be shy about talking about flooding, sir... use it like a puddle of water..." wrote @KickAl***.

"It's not a flood, but the water is queuing up to enter the infiltration well... just say it's a flood, be shy" said @ebe_g***o.
