There were also fences to prevent customers from stepping on the affected areas.

The OP captioned, “I was hesitating which food to buy. If I went to the self payment counter just five mins earlier, I could have been drenched with these dirty and smelly water…”

 

Place apparently reopened at around 4.30pm

A witness shared with 8world News that she’d passed by the area around 12pm on Saturday and found “brown and smelly sewage” leaking from the ceiling.

According to the article, staff reopened the area at around 4.30pm that day.

The reason for the leakage appears unclear as of the time of writing.

MS News has reached out to Orchard Central’s management and will update the article if they reply.
