SINGAPORE: Callers to the Channel NewsAsia hotline
said an accident has occurred at the former UIC building
construction site.
Eyewitnesses said it seemed like a scaffolding had
collapsed.
Mr Jack Yu, a ship broker working at the DBS
building opposite the construction site, said a loud boom was heard
at around 4.40pm.
This caused shaking at the DBS building for a few seconds.
He said SCDF personnel and police arrived at the scene around 20 to
30 minutes later.
Mr Yu added DBS building management has sent out an email to assure
those in the building that the building is safe.
