Six months ago, a falling tree branch broke the rear windshield of Mohammad Norman Gatot Isman’s car.
Yesterday, the disaster occurred at the same location twice when a large tree fell on top of the 39-year-old motorcycle in the parking lot next to Block 68 Lorong 5 Toa Payoh.
His was not the only vehicle damaged, with photos from the scene showing multiple cars and motorcycles being knocked over or crushed by a falling tree.
The Straits Times understands that no one was injured.
Mohammad Norman told The Straits Times that the incident took place around 7 a.m., when he was about to leave to work as a firefighter.
His motorcycle is now badly damaged, he said, adding that he will take the vehicle to a mechanic for an evaluation today.
When his car was damaged in June, Mohammad Norman received no compensation from Bishan-Toa Payoh City Council insurers.
He was told that the city hall’s horticultural contractor was facing a labor shortage due to Covid-19 and therefore was unable to perform the necessary maintenance work on time.
