When traffic slows to a crawl, don’t get frustrated – get a motor-boat instead. STOMPer Kelvin spotted this speedy little boat cruising past packed rush hour traffic and sent in pictures to share.

Kelvin describes what he saw:

"These cleaners are probably on one of the exclusive cleaning jobs in the downtown area. They were riding a motor-boat in the free flowing Rochor Canal, while the main road nearby is heavily jammed.

"I spotted this yesterday afternoon (Jan 24) at about 3:00 pm.

"It’s just amazing to see this happen next to congested Rochor Road, near Sim Lim Tower."
