JEM shopping mall ceiling collapsed, 3 injured

your business ah?
what could be the reason this time?
can't be better-better-better
so is it faster-faster-faster or cheaper-cheaper-cheaper?
PAP IB means these:
I don't see how the JEM ceiling collapse is related to this IB confession.
Mr Wong MM , let me treat you to a wonderful cup of kopi - WAKE UP!
Land lease is the owner as well.
They are actually one of the better ones around....ask anyone in the industry....they are known to be rigidly strict on safety and contractors dislike them for being overly 'ngeow'.
Perhaps being exposed here they have become sinkiefied.
Tenants for jem include many pappy outfits like MND, AVA and BCA...vile pappies probably contributed to the bad Feng shui.
Related or not is not for me to say. I just refresh people's memory that's all.
By coming in at this juncture, you are exposing yourself. That is my humble opinion, I will let readers judge for themselves. Unsinkification is all about using your brains.
I already have two of these at home. Thank you for your offer which I have to politely decline:

Please do not call me Mr. Wong MM or WMM or whatever. I don't like to be defiled.

Mr Wong, you are a very suspicious intellectual. Well, nevermind lah. We drink Kopi some other time. Have a nice day! Cheers! I like to talk to you because I find you rather polite and friendly despite the ferocity of your language and the power of your swords. Cheers!
the shopping mall is jinxed...
Got ministry and stat board as tenants....dun sway also cannot
Where's the resident screw king, he should be able to offer some professional insight.
Ceilings in the form of gypsum boards, acoustic, aluminum panels, wire mesh and decorative ceilings etc are obviously decorative by nature and not structural at all to begin with.
Problem is the loading and choosing a fixing that can not just hold the load but calculated with a safety factor. This determines the type of fixing system required, its depth of embedment and its quantity. Also to note is the environment whether the ceiling is subjected to vibration and also corrosive environment which can critically affect the loading.
As mentioned in my first post here in this thread, there are generally two type of fixings used here in Singapore, the nail/pin type shot into concrete using a powdered actuated tool or commonly known as a "gun" OR mechanical anchors like an expansion bolt the most common is a sleeve anchor. The former as mentioned before has to many variables like if the shock of the percussion from the tool had affected the quality of the concrete or bended the nail etc, once a nail in embedded in the concrete it is impossible to tell the quality of the fixing and so is not so forgiving. The later system one could physically check the quality of the concrete after drilling and when setting the anchor to a specific torque one is assured the expansion of the anchor into the concrete, this is a much more forgiving fixing.
Also mentioned before the former system with the nail could be as high as 10 times faster than the later expansion method. In my days as a contractor I could say almost 100% ceiling fixings are done with the nail now a days I bet will be not much of a different. I bet this failure in JEM is done by the nail system. For my own home all fixings are done with mechanical undercut (non expansion) anchors or chemical anchors, the safest and most reliable fixings.

They can't even properly build Nicoll Highway or a suburb mall, and they want to build an underground city?
