December 27, 2023 Shoppers were asked to evacuate Tampines Mall at around 9.30pm on Dec 27, following a fire in one of its stores on the fourth floor. The atrium within the mall was observed to be hazy in videos posted on Facebook. The mall’s alarm sounded at around the same time. Among those forced to leave the mall was shopper Larry Hoo, 34, who told The Straits Times he saw smoke coming out from X-Craft, a street fashion store.
Mr Hoo was on the mall’s fourth floor – the same level X-Craft is on – when he was made to evacuate by the mall’s security guards.
