kena FIRE and WATER already ... one more case angmoh also go chinese temple pray pray liao

look at marina bay sands ... that vegas angmoh sibei believe fengshui to the bone

 

anyway, fengshui is a matter of feel good factor and hoping for a good omen only

 

fundamentally, the building structure and process must be reviewed

so dangerous....better avoid. dont end up like New World Hotel.

 

Time to review all the BTO flats where each individual components are prefab and shipped on site.

If a 9-11 style attack were to happen on these pre-fab buildings, my bet is the building will not stand longer than the former WTC.

Apparently ppl heard a bell rang before the ceiling collapsed. Seems like one of the pipes of the fire fighting system broke and caused the ceiling to flood and collapsed.

 

Nowadays pipe fittings all made in China. LoL... No surprise there.

SINGAPORE: Three people were injured after part of the first-floor ceiling at Jem shopping mall in Jurong East collapsed on Wednesday night.

 

The latest incident follows two recent fires which broke out at the mall last month.

 

And the mall's tenants are concerned that such incidents will end up keeping customers away.

 

The Singapore Civil Defence Force said three people suffered minor injuries and had to be taken to hospital.

 

It is not clear what caused the ceiling collapse.

 

Witnesses told Channel NewsAsia that water began gushing out from the ceiling, and shortly after, a part of the ceiling fell.

 

They said that water had flowed to various parts of the mall.

 

Yusman Danny said: "I was throwing the rubbish. When I came back, I saw the ceiling full of water. It burst. I was a bit scared."

 

Donovan Lim said: "We heard the bell ring, so we thought it was a fire and we were checking out what was really happening. And suddenly we heard a very loud crash."

 

Mohamed Ibrahim Mohamed Taib of Starbucks said: "I actually heard a very loud bump sound. I actually ran there because I saw everybody running. So when I got there, I saw the whole ceiling (at level two) collapsed... there was water rushing out of the pipes."

 

Tenants and some remaining customers managed to remain calm and evacuated from the building quickly.

 

Some two hours after the incident, mall tenants could be seen waiting anxiously outside. Some were hoping to be let back in, in order to check on their stores for fear of goods being damaged, while others who had evacuated in a hurry, were hoping to go back to collect the belongings they had left behind.

 

Jem shopping mall was officially opened on 15 June.

 

Its official opening was delayed by a few days due to issues with fire safety permits for the tenants.

 

And just last month, two fires broke out in the premises.Tenants hope that more will be done to keep such incidents at bay.

 

Sazali Jaafar, manager at Earle Swensen's, said: "Now I'm sure that people might think twice about coming to Jem to shop. Who knows, another mishap might happen. It will definitely affect the business."

 

Mohamed Ibrahim Mohamed Taib added: "I've actually been worried more because it concerns my business. Eventually, people will be scared to come to Jem because of these incidents happening."

 

For now, it remains unclear what the long-term impact will be on shoppers and tenants in this new mall. - CNA/ir/de

 

The Ang Mors ignored the Chinese praying rituals before and after construction, so this happened.
