Perhaps Chicken Little’s cries of “The sky is falling!” should be taken a bit more seriously, especially after part of an HDB unit’s ceiling fell out of the blue.
The incident took place in a unit in Cassia Crescent, where the oldest blocks date back to 1981.
According to the 80-year-old homeowner, her flat was refurbished just five years ago. She hadn’t expected the ceiling she thought “should be safe” would suddenly fall.
“It happened at 7.30am last Thursday (Nov 7). I was in the kitchen when I heard a loud bang, but when I went out to the living room, everything was as per normal,” she recounted in an interview with Lianhe Wanbao.
A few minutes later, her tenant shuffled out saying a large slab of limestone had fallen from the ceiling in his room. When she peered inside, she was shocked to see a hole in the ceiling and a piece of rock measuring between 30 and 40cm on the bed, as well as dust everywhere.
