Tenants and shoppers received a wet surprise when fire sprinklers were activated inside One Raffles Place's first level on Monday (March 15) morning.
Parts of the mall were flooded, with a fire alarm ringing in the background, as seen in a video sent to Stomp – as curious onlookers walked past just before the lunchtime crowd.
According to Stomp, there was no fire in the mall and visitors who were having their meal got drenched when the sprinklers turned on.
