Jurong East Mall cancels today's opening
11 Jun 13
Cites 'administrative issue' as cause of delay.
Developers of the highly-anticipated Jurong East Mall (Jem) announced late Monday that the opening of Singapore's third largest suburban mall will be delayed. Lend Lease, the Australian developer behind the mall, cited administrative issues as the cause of the aforementioned postponement.
In a release, the management said: "we would like to notify the public that Jem will not be opening on 11th June. This is due to an administrative issue. We were anticipating having received all the necessary endorsements by end of business yesterday however that was not the case. We have therefore taken the difficult decision of not opening the mall to the public today in order to adhere to regulatory requirements."
Lend Lease is the property manager. Man-made accident like this are bound to increase... following in SMRT footsteps...
JEM should closed for thorough checks, come Dec shopping no season..it might trigger...

False ceiling usually will not be inspected by professional engineers as not considered critical structure. Such installation is like a painting or curtains whereby the main con will just give a cursory look.Obviously they should have delayed the opening even longer. I can't imagine If a toddler or baby getting hit on the head with a ceiling...
They have built quite a few malls in sg. Think 313 or orchard central is their project too.LAND LEASE IS THE MOST FUCKED UP COMPANY...This ANZ setup is a joke!

False ceiling usually will not be inspected by professional engineers as not considered critical structure. Such installation is like a painting or curtains whereby the main con will just give a cursory look.
For such a huge section of false ceiling to collapse could be due to sub con using too short screws to secure the false ceiling. Saved their time drilling deep holes.
Critical structure means related to whether the building can collapse.It's not a critical structure, but it can cause a child to be in critical condition..How much do you think it weighs? Enough to break a child's neck and kill him..
