A woman narrowly avoided injury last Sunday when a chunk of concrete fell from the toilet ceiling in her flat at Block 81 Commonwealth Close in Queenstown.After reading a report about spalling concrete last week, Ho Ai Ling, 52, began keeping a close watch on a crack in her toilet ceiling and avoided standing directly beneath while showering.She told Lianhe Zaobao that she escaped injury as she was standing close to the wall when the concrete collapsed.«I read a report on Saturday about a home in Yishun where the ceiling collapsed and the man had to get more than 10 stitches on his head. I reminded myself and my roommates to be careful, and it saved my life the next day.»The livestreamer and actress added that she was fortunate the ceiling fan was off, as falling debris could have struck the blades and caused a more serious incident.The flat was built in 1967 and is 58 years old.Since moving in 14 years ago, she has repeatedly dealt with cracks and peeling paint on the toilet ceiling, she said.On June 18, she called the Housing Development Board (HDB) after discovering that the toilet ceiling had bulged again.
