Incidents

Delayed opening

Jem's official opening was initially to be on 11 June 2013 . Due to tenant permit issues, the opening of the mall was delayed. It was reported that none of units in Jem applied for a Fire Safety Certificate or Temporary Fire Permit (TFP) from the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF). To appease the disappointed customers who were affected by the delayed opening, Jem gave out discount vouchers worth S$10 between 10 am and 11 am that day.[16]

On 15 June 2013, the mall was finally opened which attracted more than 10,000 shoppers within an hour of its opening.[17]

Fires

On 14 August 2013, three employees manning the Ready-to-Eat counter at the NTUC FairPrice Xtra store in Jem shopping centre suffered minor burns when a deep fryer caught fire at about 10.30 am. Customers and staff were evacuated from the FairPrice Xtra store. The fire was put out by the sprinklers in the store. [18]

On 17 August 2013, a car caught fire at the Basement 2 carpark area of Jem at about 2.20 pm, causing the evacuation of all staff and patrons from the mall. The fire was put out by the sprinklers in the mall. [19]

False ceiling collapse

Three people were injured after part of the first-floor ceiling of the mall collapsed on the night of 18 September 2013. It was believed that a leaking water-pipe caused the incident. As a result, the mall was closed until further notice.[20][21] On 2 October 2013, the mall was reopened to the public. Throughout the two-week closure, Jem underwent inspections, rigorous testing and certification by a team of more than 40 people including hydraulic engineers and safety specialists to investigate and resolve the issue.[22]

Glass door breaks

A glass door at Jurong East's Jem mall shattered on the evening of Nov 29 2013. The glass door is located on the first floor next to clothing retailer H&M, a third of the glass partition shattered into smaller pieces. The mall's spokesman said no one was hurt in the accident. [23]

Power failure

A media statement by Jem said some retailers on the third level and basement one of the Jurong East shopping centre were affected by an 11-hour power failure on Mar 21 2014. The disruption occurred from around 7am to 6pm, according to Chinese daily Lianhe Zaobao. At least 36 shops on basement one were operating in darkness, said the report. The mall's website lists 60 businesses on that level. At least three shops also put up notices to say that they were going to close earlier because of the power shortage.[24]
