Smoke spread from mall fire

Pictures shared to Xiaohongshu showed SCDF and police officers at the scene.

The user wrote in her caption that she was looking for a place to have lunch on Nov. 6, when she realised the mall was "full of smoke".

She added that some shops in the mall supposedly near the fire were closed.

She was later asked to evacuate the mall as well.

A video of a food court in Marina Square shared to TikTok the same afternoon also showed smoke drifting along the mall's ceiling.
