SINGAPORE - A salad shop in Jem mall in Jurong was flooded on Thursday evening.

An employee of Saladworks, which is on the second floor of the Jurong East mall, said that the flood occurred at about 4.40pm, and that "water just started coming from the pipe". She said she believed that units directly below the shop were also affected.

When The Straits Times visited the shopping mall at 8.30pm, workers were seen mopping the floor outside the shop. The eatery was closed, and a section of its storefront blocked off from public access. Sandbags were placed near the entrance of the Paris Baguette cafe next door, which was still open for business.

One floor below, an upriding escalator was out of service, and water was seen dripping from the ceiling.

An employee working at PrettyFIT shoes store, which is two units away from Saladworks, said it was not the first time the eatery was flooded.

The employee, who wanted to be known only as Yolanda, said: "A few months ago, near Christmas time, there was another flood. That was bad, it affected Paris Baguette and PrettyFIT."

Ms Yolanda added that a friend who works at the salad shop told her that the first flooding occurred because of a clogged pipe.

Several incidents have been reported at the shopping mall which opened in June 2013, including at least two small fires, flooding when sprinklers came on unexpectedly and a ceiling collapse due to a burst water pipe.

Ceiling of KFC outlet at City Square Mall collapses, water floods basement & MRT underpass

Ceiling-of-KFC-outlet-at-City-Square-Mal

The ceiling of a KFC outlet in City Square Mall reportedly collapsed on Wednesday (3 Sept) night, flooding the basement of the mall in Farrer Park.

A witness said that water had suddenly gushed out of the ceiling before it collapsed, with an image on XiaoHongShu showing water cascading into the premises from above.

The XiaoHongShu netizen said they had just finished eating and were about to leave when water suddenly fell from the ceiling.

This caused everyone in the outlet to run out before the power went out.

The ceiling collapsed just after everybody had evacuated — meaning that nobody was hurt.

Another photo showed that ceiling panels had fallen onto the tables and floor, with wires sticking out of the ceiling and the KFC sign dislodged.

The netizen said their entire body was drenched and covered in mud from the incident.

Their bag, which had been left behind, was thoroughly soaked after being left in the water for about half an hour.

Another customer was so shocked that they burst into tears.

They left their particulars with the manager but wondered whether they would get compensation. They also said they would not want to visit the outlet again.

The flooding was not restricted to the KFC outlet — another XiaoHongShu netizen shared a video of a large puddle of water forming in the basement of City Square Mall outside the Wingstop outlet, which is near KFC.

Water flowed out of the outlet and streamed across the floor.

The flooding was so extensive that it even spread to the underpass leading to Farrer Park MRT station, according to yet another XiaoHongShu netizen.

They said they were at the MRT station when they found the underpass and entrance to the mall flooded, and shared a photo of people walking in ankle-deep water.
