At least 10 cars were damaged while going down a carpark ramp in Funan mall owing to wet weather on May 14.

Motorist Yiping Ang was among those who drove to the mall during the heavy downpour. He headed in from the North Bridge Road entrance at about 6.10pm, and was looking forward to having dinner with a friend, he said.

But the evening took an unfortunate turn when he was unable to control his car while driving down the curved ramp towards the carpark gantry.

Mr Ang, 34, said: "I stepped on the brakes but my vehicle continued veering to the left and crashed into the left side wall." He added that he initially thought his brakes had failed.
