Dear residents,
We would like to give an update on an incident during the fireworks display at Ubi Ave at midnight on 1 January 2022.
During the fireworks display, a stray projectile had hit the external facade wall of a HDB block.
For everyone’s safety, our officers on site immediately instructed the fireworks display to be stopped.
We also visited the unit where the projectile had landed nearby, to make sure that the family was safe.
The family assured us that no one was hurt nor was there any damage to their home, as the projectile had only hit the outer facade wall near a window.
We thank the family for their understanding, as well as residents for their concern.
We are working closely with our vendor to ascertain what happened and how we can prevent this in future.
