I was having dinner at Jaya 33 when I received news that the old Jaya supermarket building had collapsed. I had earlier noticed a few ambulance and police cars around that area but did not suspect anything. The building looked no different from the last time I saw it from where I was at.
Of course, I was looking at the part of the Jaya supermarket that was still standing firm. The part of the old building that has collapsed was at the other end of it.
These are two photos of the Jaya supermarket building that I took a couple of days before it collapsed. Below is the part of the building that had collapsed and killed seven (?) workers.
According to this report, 11 families living opposite the building has been evacuated. If I had not moved out from one of those houses a year ago, I would have had to pack my bags as well.
I wonder what goes through the minds of those who have to work at the nearby fast food restaurant and bank of the still standing part of the building.
