Everbright Park ceiling collapse linked to roof leak, firefighters report
-
A ceiling collapse at Everbright Park along Jalan Penrissen in Kuching on Oct 16 involved plaster inside a building—not a roof blown off by a storm, according to the Sarawak Fire and Rescue Department.
DayakDaily reported that firefighters received the call at 2.38pm. An initial report described storm damage to the roof, but the Padungan team found that the zinc roof had not been torn off. The collapsed plaster ceiling was believed to be linked to a roof leak.
No casualties were reported. Eight firefighters checked the site and monitored it for further hazards before concluding the operation at 3.30pm.
The distinction matters for anyone who saw the earlier account: the incident was inside the building, and the fire service did not report a whole-roof loss. The operation had ended on Friday afternoon; the report did not give a roof-repair timetable.
