Imagine you’re in a study room, minding your own business, when suddenly you hear a loud crash coming from your bedroom. You rush in to check, and this is what you find:
This is exactly what happened to a resident in Farrer Park.
Bedroom Window in Farrer Park Shatters on 30th Floor, Possibly Hit by Gondola
According to Shin Min Daily News, the incident took place in Block 15 along Farrer Park Road. A 37-year-old resident reported hearing a loud noise in his flat. Initially, he thought the sound was coming from outside and didn’t think much of it. However, when he entered the bedroom at around 4 pm, he was shocked to find the window completely smashed.
He explained that they live on the top floor, and recently, the exterior walls of the HDB block had been undergoing repainting. He suspects the window glass might have shattered due to a collision with a gondola used by the workers.
“We’re on the 30th floor, so it’s unlikely that a stone could have hit the window,” he said.
At the time of the incident, he was working in another room. He assumed the noise was from either the corridor or from construction work at nearby buildings. But upon checking the bedroom, he found glass shards scattered across the room—some landing about a meter away, affecting both the master bed and the child’s bed.
Thankfully, no one was in the room at the time. “My wife and I occasionally work in this room, and if we had been there that day, we would have been injured by the shards,” he said.
He added, “Luckily, our four-year-old daughter wasn’t on the bed, or she would have definitely been hurt. If the glass shards from the 30th floor had fallen on pedestrians below, the consequences would have been unimaginable.”
Following the incident, he called the Town Council for assistance. A worker came to inspect the damage but left without providing any solution. After waiting without any response, he went to the lift area to find the contractor’s phone number, making six or seven calls before someone finally answered.
While waiting for authorities, the family did a quick clean-up of the shards and changed the bedsheets. The authorities eventually arrived around 5 pm, covering the window with tape and plastic film, and promised to return later to replace it.
When contacted, the Town Council acknowledged the incident, stating that the repainting contractor had reached out to the residents and was discussing compensation. However, they did not confirm whether the window had indeed been struck by a gondola.
