|April 21, 2025
Four people were taken to hospital after a glass pane fell from height at The Star Vista mall in Buona Vista on the morning of April 20.
The four were among six people assessed for injuries and were taken to the National University Hospital, said the Singapore Civil Defence Force, which added that it received a call for assistance at about 11.30am.
Two others declined to be sent to hospital.
The Star Vista said on April 20 that a glass facade panel on level three of the mall "fractured", and six shoppers sustained non-life-threatening injuries like minor cuts and lacerations.
It added that its on-site first-aid team was deployed immediately to provide care, and, as a precaution, the affected area was cordoned off and additional safety barriers were installed.
