Incident
On 4 December 2018, at around 3:30 p.m., a massive explosion occurred near the Korean restaurant Nene Chicken. Three people were killed; two of them employees of the restaurant and the third a construction worker involved in renovation works at the premises (naming O Kui Lim (胡貴麟, 49) from Batu Kawa, Kuching, Tchee Kiam Jong (徐健永, 24) from Stutong, Kuching and Chin Hsien Loong (陳顯龍, 29) from Butterworth, Penang), while 41 others were injured. The blast caused part of the mall’s ceiling to collapse. Investigations determined that the explosion was caused by incompetency of the installer, whereby "short cut" was made on the installation of the fuel gas piping.[3][4][5][6]
