SINGAPORE – A false ceiling collapsed in the basement level of Lucky Plaza on the morning of April 6, likely due to its improper installation, said the Building and Construction Authority (BCA), which added that the building remains structurally sound.
BCA said in a media reply on the same day that it was alerted to a “fallen suspended ceiling” in the Orchard Road mall and that no one was hurt.
It did not say when it was alerted, but videos of the incident that were circulated on social media said the collapse took place around 7.45am.
BCA’s spokesperson added that its engineers conducted an inspection and found that the mall remains structurally sound. There are no imminent signs of danger to the units near the collapsed ceiling.
