SINGAPORE - The Housing and Development Board (HDB) is filing a police report over a hoax photo of Build-To-Order project Waterway Terraces in Punggol that has been circulating online.
The photo, which was shared widely online on Friday (Nov 11), showed the upper storeys of a block of flats that appeared to be collapsed.
It is unclear whether the photo is of Waterway Terraces I or II.
At around 5.40pm, HDB clarified on its Facebook page that the photo is an "online hoax".
Separately, developer Tiong Seng Group also confirmed that the photo is a hoax, in response to queries from The Straits Times.
The SCDF said it did not receive any calls for assistance at Waterway Terraces, but dispatched a fire engine and Red Rhino vehicle to the location at around 3.30pm.
After investigating the area, the SCDF said it found no sign of a collapsed structure.
