SINGAPORE – After enjoying breakfast with his wife at Kampong Glam on Wednesday morning, Mr Abdul Hamed was shocked to find his parked car in Sultan Gate pinned by a fallen tree.
The rear windscreen and left signal light of his brown Tivoli were damaged by the large tree, which also landed on two other cars. No injuries were reported from the incident, which happened around 11am. Eyewitness Sonny Wee, who has been selling hand drums across the road for about 15 years, described the incident as sounding like “a building collapse”.
Another eyewitness, Mr Hassan Mohd Amin, said some young children were playing near the tree just before it fell.
