Jem (pictured) reopened its doors this morning, two weeks after the collapse of a
partial false ceiling on the first floor of the shopping mall.
This
comes after rectification works and thorough checks were carried out by
engineers to ensure that the Jurong East complex is safe for shoppers
and tenants.
On Tuesday, Singapore’s Building and Construction
Authority (BCA) also gave Jem the green light to go ahead with the
reopening. BCA worked together with national water agency PUB to conduct
inspections at the affected area of the mall.
According to
earlier reports, a burst water pipe caused the partial ceiling collapse
which left three people injured and affected 240 tenants.
