First, there were fires. Then a ceiling fell in. And on Friday, Jem shopping mall was hit by a power cut which lasted 11 hours.

A media statement by Jem said some retailers on the third level and basement one of the Jurong East shopping centre were

affected, and that a technical team attended to the power failure immediately. The disruption occurred from around 7am to 6pm,

according to Chinese daily Lianhe Zaobao. At least 36 shops on basement one were operating in darkness, said the report.

The mall's website lists 60 businesses on that level.

At least three shops also put up notices to say that they were going to close earlier because of the power shortage.
