A man was wheeling his bicycle home along Tampines St 12 on Sunday (July 12) afternoon when he suddenly heard a loud crash from behind him.

When he turned around, the 68-year-old was stunned by the sight of a concrete slab that had fallen onto the ground.

It shattered into several pieces from the impact, with the largest one measuring 5cm.

If the concrete had fallen seconds earlier, it would’ve hit him, the traumatised security guard recounted to Shin Min Daily News.

According to the Chinese daily, the concrete had fallen from the facade of the HDB block, exposing the steel bars within.

Another resident said that she was preparing lunch when she heard the crash. She looked out of the window and saw that a concrete slab had fallen.

“There’s a carpark nearby, I believe the fragments may have hit some vehicles there,” the 44-year-old administrative personnel told the paper.
