Police cordon off area as concrete sunshade almost comes crashing down in Tampines
SINGAPORE – Onlookers stared as a piece of the building at Block 201E Tampines Street 21 looked like it was about to come crashing down today (Sept 25).
The concrete sunshade on the top floor of the four-storey block had given way and was thankfully supported by the one below.
Stomp contributors Mr Lee, Nicholas, Christopher, Brandon, Alex and Qiancheng witnessed the incident at about 11.20am.
“Thank God this concrete is still holding up,” said Mr Lee.
When the Stomp Team went to the scene at about 12pm, passers-by were still crowding around the area.
Police were seen cordoning off the area to ensure the residents’ safety. They were also seen talking to the shopkeepers from the stores directly below the damage.
According to one shopkeeper, nobody was injured in the incident. “It did not hit anyone,” she said.
Photos sent by Brandon later at 4.30pm showed workers trying to clear the collapsed structure from the building.
The Building and Construction Authority (BCA) issued a statement clarifying that the collapse of the concrete sunshade did not affect the structural integrity of the building.
“Earlier today, the Building and Construction Authority was alerted to an incident where the concrete sunshade located on the fourth floor of HDB Block 201E at Tampines Street 23 was dislodged at one side and rested on the sunshade on the third floor. The dislodged structure is part of the architectural façade of the building’s exterior.
“The areas directly below the dislodged concrete shade have been cordoned off for public safety. BCA has directed the building owner (Tampines Town Council) to engage a Professional Engineer (PE) to advise on the necessary measures to removethe dislodged sunshade, carry out a detailed investigation and recommend permanent rectification works. The PE engaged by Tampines Town Council has inspected and assessed that the structural integrity of the main building is not affected by the incident.
“As an added safety precaution, the building owner’s PE is also required to inspect all the other HDB blocks in the area with similar architectural façade,” BCA said.

K-pop star Jung Joon-young probed for sexual offence
SEOUL – Singer-songwriter and TV personality Jung Joon-young is being investigated over an alleged sexual offence.
Jung’s ex-girlfriend, who has remained anonymous, filed for charges against the 27-year-old on Aug 6 for secretly filming her during the couple’s sexual activities earlier this year, according to prosecutors on Saturday. However, the unidentified woman dropped her accusation a few days later.
“I sincerely apologise for causing inconvenience to my colleagues and co-workers,” said Jung at a press conference held at Novotel Ambassador Gangnam in Seoul on Sunday. “Regarding my broadcast appearance, I plan to abide by the decisions of related officials.”
“Should there be additional investigation into the case, I plan on cooperating with it truthfully and sincerely,” he added.
In questioning, Jung is said to have admitted to police he recorded the couple’s sexual activities, but that he mistakenly believed his then-girlfriend had consented to the filming. Jung testified to having deleted the footage immediately afterward.
Jung, of rock band Drug Restaurant, first gained public recognition after appearing and taking home third place on the fourth season of Mnet’s music competition show “Superstar K” in 2012. He is also a regular guest on various TV programs, including KBS2’s variety show “Two Days, One Night” and season two of tvN’s cooking show “Mr. Baek the Homemade Food Master.”
Prosecutors plan to reinvestigate the charge against Jung.
