Imagine if a child on a float was in the pool and the glass barrier gave way. The child would likely land on ground floor like waterfall.

SINGAPORE: Glass panels from a condominium swimming pool off Balestier Road crashed from the fifth floor to the ground on Friday afternoon.

Shuli Sudderudin, 31, who lives in the condominium beside Cradels @ Whampoa, said she first heard a loud crash like a “big metal thing falling” while she was at home.

She left her home half an hour later, and was walking past the condominium when she heard the sound of “a small waterfall”.

She looked up and realised that water was pouring from the swimming pool at Cradels @ Whampoa down the building. Then, she saw another glass panel tumble from above.

A photo taken by Shuli showed a glass panel dangling in mid air. A number of other panels appeared to be missing.

She was outside the fence of the condominium but still alarmed, she said.
“Water sprayed everywhere over the road in front. It was quite dramatic. I was standing there and people came rushing out and yelling and telling me not to stand there as another glass panel shattered,” she said.

The Singapore Civil Defence Force said it was alerted to the incident at 2.32pm. No injuries were reported.

A Building Construction Authority (BCA) spokesman told ST: “Upon arriving at the site, BCA engineers found that a row of glass panels, that act as a safety barrier for a stretch of maintenance ledge on the outer edge of the swimming pool, had fallen off from the fifth floor. The glass does not contain the water in the swimming pool.

“In the interest of public safety, BCA has directed the owner of the building to close the entire fifth storey and the affected area below the fallen glass panels. The owner will be required to appoint a Professional Engineer to advise on the necessary precautionary measures to remove any danger, carry out a detailed investigation assess the structural condition and recommend permanent rectification works.

“Under BCA’s building regulations, glass that is used as a safety barrier must be laminated glass and designed to withstand horizontal loading determined in accordance with prescribed standards. For infinity edge pools, the industry is required to incorporate reasonable safety measures in the infinity pool design to mitigate the risk of falling from height.” – The Straits Times/Asia News Network

SINGAPORE - A fire, possibly caused by a charging electric bike battery, blackened a Pasir Ris flat's living room on Friday (July 8) evening.

The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said it was alerted to the fire at Block 750, Pasir Ris Street 71 at 6.24pm. No one was injured, it added.

A video of the fire showed flames leaping and smoke pouring from a fourth storey window.


Neighbour Madam Hasnah Sidin, 63, told The New Paper (TNP) that she and her daughter rushed down from the fourth storey when they were alerted to the fire.

The fire was "like lightning" said Madam Hasnah. Her daughter called the SCDF.

SCDF said the fire was extinguished with two water jets.

Flat owner Andy Nini, an aircraft painter, 44, was at work when the fire broke out. He received a call from his sister at 7pm, TNP said.

His son, two daughters and a maid escaped their five-room flat.

When he and his wife Nancy, 44, a radiographer, returned, they were in tears at the sight of their blackened and burnt living room.

Mr Nini thinks that an electric bicycle battery he left charging may have led to the fire.

Deputy Prime Minister Teo Chee Hean, who is Member of Parliament for Pasir Ris-Punggol GRC, heard about the fire while on his way to a Meet-the-People session and visited the Nini family.

"Many helping hands at Blk 750 this evening due to fire from electric bike battery being charged at home. Thankfully no one injured," he said in a Facebook post.


The cause of the fire is still under investigation, SCDF said.

It sent one fire engine, two Red Rhinos, two fire bikes and an ambulance to the scene.
