SINGAPORE – Two buildings at the Kong Meng San Phor Kark See Monastery have been closed off from public access after sections of the roof tiles and the supporting roof frame of one of the buildings fell off on Nov 26.
The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said it was alerted to the incident in Bright Hill Road at about 8.25pm.
SCDF firefighters and rescuers from the Disaster Assistance and Rescue Team and search canines from SCDF’s search platoon were deployed to the scene.
One person was assessed for minor injuries, but declined to be taken to hospital.
Photos taken at the monastery show a large exposed rooftop section following the collapse, as well as large amounts of debris strewn across the ground.
