Translation: It’s already tough to make sales. After this, they’d likely have to close their shops for a week, and the clothes would absorb the smell. I sympathize with them—perhaps they can relocate temporarily.
Another commenter asked whether the mall would take accountability for the incident.

Translation: I felt bad for the clothing stores. Will the mall be responsible for this?
Additionally, one netizen was curious about how long the foul smell would last.
On Monday (25 Nov), the Facebook page updated that the incident had been addressed by the mall.
It was reported that the burst pipe was a grease disposal pipe and did not contain any faeces.
The leak occurred due to a blockage, which created pressure at the end of the pipe, leading to the spill.

Cleaning tasks were completed by 7.20pm on the same day.
Eight shops were reportedly affected by the leak, but the mall has since contacted them and offered compensation.
The mall’s pipe system has been cleared to prevent a similar incident from happening.
