Finding an empty seat in Singapore’s malls is like finding an oasis in a desert. But one shopper was in for a rude shock when the seat he’d found fell apart the moment he sat on it.

He was left with an 11cm-long wound on his leg after a wooden seat collapsed at Waterway Point on Thursday (Sept 3) evening, the mall confirmed.

Sharing pictures of his injuries and the seat in question on Facebook the same day, the victim, Victor Tan, urged those who visit the mall to take note of the potential hazard.

“This sitting platform (without the ‘Do Not Sit’ social distancing sticker) collapsed the moment I sat on it with my daughter. I’m 70 plus kg and she’s 11kg,” he wrote.

“This could have resulted in more serious injuries or even fatal ones especially for the elderly,” Tan said, adding in a comment that he often sees elderly shoppers resting on similar seats at the mall.
