This is not the first time that water has been seen leaking at the mega retail building
A leaking pipe resulted in a large puddle of water forming in Basement 1 of Jewel Changi Airport on Friday (Dec 18). Videos circulating on social media and Whatsapp Messenger show water pouring out from the ceiling outside the Owndays eyewear shop. A staff member from the store next door can be seen sweeping water away from the entrance.
The video was shared on various Facebook groups and pages, including All Singapore Stuff, where it had more than 200 reactions and almost 200 shares.
Those who saw the video joked about the pipe leak mimicking Jewel Changi’s famous HSBC Rain Vortex, the world’s tallest indoor waterfall. Others pointed out that this was not the first time water was seen leaking at the airport’s mega retail building. Shortly after Jewel Changi Airport’s opening in April last year, faulty sprinklers leaked water on several occasions.

A video of the scene posted to Facebook page All Singapore Stuff showed a shower of water raining down from the ceiling, with the floor outside Owndays and Jinjja Chicken stores appearing completely wet. A woman can be seen in the background mopping up the water as well.
This isn't the first time water leakages have occurred at Jewel. One incident caused by a sprinkler activation in April 2019 led to multiple floors being wet. The first water leakage incident caught on video occurred before the mall's opening on Apr. 17. The 2nd Jewel Changi Airport water leak caused by sprinkler.

All operations at the terminal, including retail, will be suspended for 18 months starting May, Transport Minister Khaw Boon Wan reportedly announced in Parliament today. He also hinted at more closures, noting that only one terminal has so far been enough to handle the traffic at the airport.
Airlines operating at the terminal will be transferred to Changi’s remaining three terminals next month. Singapore Airlines will operate from Terminal 3. “We will save on running costs – for the airport operator, retail tenants, airlines and ground handlers,” The Straits Times quoted him as saying.

Injuries at Jewel attractions: Onus is on users to stay safe
This past week, Jewel Changi Airport’s Canopy Park made headlines for two accidents that left visitors injured. On Wednesday (June 19), a 14-year-old girl suffered a cut beneath her right eye at Mirror Maze, an attraction at the indoor park. This came five days after a woman tripped on the Sky Nets, another attraction at the park, leaving her with a deep cut on her hand. While some readers urged Jewel to step up safety measures and shut the attractions for investigations, others said that the onus was on users to stay safe:
- I was thinking of taking my children there soon. With so many accidents, I'm not sure it's a good idea. MAI TRUONG
- Quite a few casualties. More precautions are needed. CHEAH LM
- It’s better to visit after six months. It will be safer. MARLENE LEOW
- This is publicity for the wrong reasons. It is the second such reported case. They should close the attractions and do a thorough safety review, and reopen them only when safety professionals deem the attractions safe. ALEX CHEE
- To the management of Jewel, regardless of whose fault it is, the important and responsible thing to do is close the attractions with immediate effect, and conduct a thorough investigation into how the design of the Sky Nets and Mirror Maze allowed the incidents to happen. A good design should be dummy-proof, with safety checks done using a conservative approach, that is, assuming a careless customer and not a cautious one. At the same time, review all the other attractions as well. Do the right thing and protect your customers first, especially young and elderly people. Worry about defending your image later. HO YEW CHIN
- Many people have gone in there, and come out safe and sound. One girl went in and, suddenly, the maze took on a life of its own and made itself unsafe for users? Have children not injured themselves at neighbourhood playgrounds or parks? So, shall we remove all of these? Maybe we should look at the situation before judging whether the maze is suffering from bad design. DAVID QI
- Let’s not be softies. If we are like that, Mount Everest will be closed each time there is a casualty. Just be careful. That will do. TAN MING CHEONG VICTOR
- Your safety is in your own hands. You can't put all the blame on the park. BRYAN WONG
- All playgrounds on earth carry the risk of injuries. If you want to stay safe, stay at home. Otherwise, look after yourselves, please. ANDY
- It's a mirror maze. They give you sticks so that you may hit surfaces to check if it is a mirror or not. If you walk slowly, I don’t see how this can happen. ISKANDAR ZULKARNAIN
