One-Room Flat Residents Badly Hit By Haze

With four people cramped in a one-room flat, Mr Thiagarajan’s family need three fans to make sure it didn’t get too stuffy.

As PSI levels hit the unhealthy range this month, they had to buy two more fans just so they could breathe.

He was one of several people The New Paper team spoke to who live in one-room rental flats at Mei Ling Street and Casa Clementi.

“The haze makes it hard to breathe. My family is very irritated because we have had no choice but to close the window. It’s hotter than usual so we have five fans. We bought two more fans to keep cool,” said the 27-year-old staff member at a club.

Despite five fans, Mr Thiagarajan’s family have been feeling ill.

“My brother is sick with a throat infection and fever. The doctor told us it’s because of the haze and gave him a three-day Medical Certificate,” said Mr Thiagarajan.

Cinema Speaker At Golden Mile Tower Falls And Hit 2 Women During Movie

Business development executive Ryan Kuan was expecting a quiet night out with his girlfriend at the cinema when a black speaker, the size of a motorcycle box, fell about 3m, and into the empty seat next to his girlfriend.

“I was terribly shocked as my girlfriend was inches away from getting hurt,” said the 27-year-old. The accident happened on Monday at the Projector, a cinema in Golden Mile Tower, in Beach Road.

The speaker then bounced down two steps, and hit cinema-goer Neo Yu Ping, 27, in the knee. It hit another woman in the back before finally coming to a stop.

“It was dark, so I couldn’t see what was going on,” said Ms Neo, a customer service officer. “I heard a loud bang and, before I knew it, the speaker hit me.”

The spot of mishap forced the management to pause the film, titled I Am Eurasian – screened as part of the Singapore Heritage Short Film Competition – and turn on the lights. The screening, which started at 8pm, resumed after the two women said they were fine.

The Straits Times understands that the women were given 10 complimentary tickets to any film of their choice at the Projector. The management also offered to pay their medical expenses.

A Projector spokesman apologised, and said: “We are looking into the matter, and will take appropriate action to prevent it from happening again. The comfort and safety of our customers is our top priority.”

The cinema remains open for movie screenings.

Wet, Wet, Wet At Seletar Mall

She was at her office when she got a call from her sales assistant saying that water was flowing into her store on the third level at Seletar Mall.

Worried, the store owner rushed down to her toy store at the mall in Sengkang and found, to her dismay, that parts of the carpet in her store was soaked with water.

“I was shocked. The water damaged the boxes in which the toys were stored,” said the owner of Lamkins toy store, who only wanted to be known as Ms Lam.

Store owners The New Paper spoke to said the incident was due to water coming from inside a tuition centre on the third level of the mall. The incident happened at about 6pm on Monday.

A staff member from Aspire Hub Education on the third level told TNP: “We are currently drying and cleaning up the centre.”

Store owners said the water also flowed from the third floor all the way to basement one.

Mr Raj, 45, a storekeeper, said: “It was just very sudden when the water flowed from the third level to the lower levels.”

The areas which were flooded were cordoned off to be cleaned.

Madam Lily Tan, 62, the branch manager of an optical store, Knick & Knack, noted that the Seletar Mall management was quick to respond to the leak.

“They did their job well – there were about 10 cleaners who were clearing up the water till about 10pm,” she said.

She was relieved that water did not go into her store, which has wooden flooring.

FIRST TIME

Store owners said this is the first time the mall has experienced such an incident. Seletar Mall opened in November last year.

Said Ms Lam: “Hopefully this won’t happen again.”

When The New Paper went to the mall yesterday at lunchtime, business was going on as usual.

Responding to queries, a spokesman for Seletar Mall said yesterday: “The incident was due to a dislodgement of a water pipe. Our contractor worked through the night and everything is back to normal today.”
