A wall near Yew Tee MRT, beside the Food Inn food court, collapsed on 25 December, resulting in a passerby being sent to the hospital.
The incident happened on Christmas at about 11.40am, according to Lianhe Zaobao, and the man who was sent to the hospital after falling down has since been discharged.
The whole wall had collapsed and left red bricks all over the ground.
The contractor responsible for renovating the unit that the wall was on told the Chinese paper that they had only begun work one day before the incident.
The workers had been installing soundproof barriers and fitting out cabinets in the kitchen after obtaining approvals from the authorities.
The workers were having their lunch and no work was being done on the wall when it collapsed.
The unit was leased out to Ananas Food Market, which is doing the renovation works. At the moment, all renovations have been suspended and the immediate area has been cordoned off.
The SCDF said they were alerted to the incident at about 12.10pm and one person was sent to Ng Teng Fong General Hospital.
SMRT said that the person who was sent to the hospital after the wall collapsed, 60-year-old Sakthimogan Sinnakannu, wasn’t injured by the wall – but rather, he had been shocked from the wall falling and fell down.
He was buying groceries at Yew Tee Market and threw himself back to avoid being crushed by the wall when it hit his trolley, but he broke the fall with his hands and thankfully didn’t hit his head.
