SINGAPORE - A six-year-old boy was injured after getting hit by concrete that fell from his Housing Board flat's ceiling due to wear and tear on Tuesday .

She also posted updates about her son receiving treatment in the hospital and videos showing workers carrying out repair works in her flat. Ms Syasha said that her son shot the water at the ceiling right before a part of it dropped, adding that the ceiling was already cracked before the incident. "This is a natural wear and tear process which occurs in older buildings, such as this flat, which is 45 years old. It tends to occur more frequently in moisture-prone areas such as the kitchen and bathrooms, where the humidity will speed up the carbonation process, which causes spalling concrete," HDB added.
