According to shop owners nearby, the hole in the ground appeared suddenly. It has been temporarily covered with a piece of wooden board to prevent accidents.
When contacted by RazorTV, the Land Transport Authority said the hole will be repaired on Wednesday.
As for what caused the hole, LTA said it may have been caused by wear and tear, and that the pavement may not have been compacted properly when it was laid.
