Heavy rain and strong winds cause panels to fall on road outside UOB Plaza (Sept 17)

Strong winds and heavy rain lashed Singapore on the evening of Sept 17, toppling trees, snarling traffic and causing damage to a glass canopy outside UOB Plaza in Raffles Place.

some metal debris and shards of glass lay on the road outside UOB Plaza and the Xpeng car showroom. A glass canopy outside UOB Plaza 2 also appeared to be partly damaged.

A UOB spokesperson told ST that the glass panel that damaged the glass canopy was not from the bank’s building. “There was no injury and the area has been cordoned off for the public’s safety,” the spokesperson added.
