Toilet ceiling in Queenstown flat collapses as woman showers

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.

We ranked the most unhinged ways our friends have said 'no' to drugs

You don't need us to tell you that consuming controlled substances is wrong. Not only is it illegal to do so, but any abuse of drugs also affects your well-being, regardless of whether the drugs are taken in Singapore or overseas.That said, it's easy to say «no» to drugs on paper. But when push comes to shove, you might have to get creative in rejecting drugs. We asked our friends for their stories on how they've said «no» and ranked them according to just how extreme they had to be. Here's what our friends had to do:*Ratings have been done just for laughs. These methods may not necessarily reflect the best way to say «no» to drugs. Names have also been changed.'I cut off a friend who tried selling ketamine to our clique'I was hanging out with a group of friends one night when one of them said they felt bored. That's when my friend Diana asked us if we wanted to have some fun and whipped out a small plastic capsule.
