One person taken to hospital after signboard collapses at food court in Rivervale Mall

“Our team responded immediately and worked closely with the mall management and emergency responders to provide assistance to a customer who had sustained injury,” the spokeswoman said, adding that the person is currently resting at home after being taken to hospital for further medical assessment and care.

“Following a full review and thorough investigation to determine the cause of the incident, we have reinforced all safety precautions in alignment with the relevant authorities,” she said.

Operations have resumed at the food court, the spokesperson said. “We apologise for this unfortunate incident,” she added.

In a video posted on social media platform TikTok, rubble can be seen from the collapsed signboard across the entrance to Food Junction. Other parts of the ceiling can be seen partially in tact as onlookers keep a distance from the debris.

Checks by ST found the Food Junction outlet to be located on the ground floor of the mall. ST has contacted the mall management and the Building and Construction Authority for more information.
