In a shocking turn of events, a popular mall in Bangsar narrowly escaped disaster when a section of its ceiling gave way, sending debris crashing onto the food court below. The harrowing incident, captured in a video shared on Xiaohongshu (XHS) on December 18, has left many breathing a sigh of relief that no one was hurt.
The dramatic footage shows a gaping hole at the top of the mall's structure, with a slab of the collapsed ceiling landing on a table, causing it to topple over. The floor of the food court was also drenched from the rain pouring in through the gap, creating a hazardous and chaotic scene.
According to the original poster (OP), the ceiling collapse occurred during a period of heavy rainfall, and miraculously, it happened just before the lunchtime rush, when foot traffic was at its peak. The OP expressed gratitude that the incident didn't occur during the busiest time of day, which would have likely resulted in devastating consequences.
The OP's account of the incident is a chilling reminder of the unpredictability of such events. "Seeing this makes me break into cold sweat," they wrote. "Guess I need to have hotpot tonight to calm myself." The OP's lighthearted attempt to shake off the shock underscores the trauma and anxiety that can follow such close calls.
