SINGAPORE — A big tree at City Plaza in Geylang, which on Sunday (Sept 10) afternoon toppled over and fell on several vehicles, has been cut down and the mall has engaged an arborist to inspect the remaining trees on its property.

In response to TODAY's queries, City Plaza's mall management said that the tree fell at about 1pm on Sunday.

In a video posted on TikTok, throngs of people can be seen standing around the fallen tree in the rain. Some are seen ducking under the tree branches in a bid to navigate their way through the crowd.

The video also shows several cars along the road trapped under the branches of the toppled tree, with the roofs of some of the cars visibly crushed under the weight of the tree branches.

City Plaza's management said on Monday that it is now in the process of removing the debris on site after the incident.

TODAY understands that there were no reported deaths or injuries in the incident and that the police showed up to assist in traffic control in the surrounding area after the tree's collapse.

The mall has not received any claims for vehicle damages, it said.

It added that there had been no visible warning signs that the tree was at risk of collapsing, adding that the management has an existing contract with a landscape maintenance company.

"We will engage a certified arborist or landscaping company to prescribe and instruct appropriate tree pruning directives according to tree health and for addressing safety concerns to pedestrians and other road users," it said.
