A strong wind occurred last Wednesday afternoon (18 July 2012,
Wednesday) at the Tamu Tudung Saji Complex near Belait Town. The strong wind
demolished a section of the Ramadhan stalls which was erected by the Belait
Municipal Board. To make worst several cars parked nearby are damaged due to
the flying debris from the tents. A vendor who are making preparation at the
stalls are also injured due to the incident. Fortunately the nearby His Majesty
66th birthday celebration stalls are not effected by the wind.
According to one of the vendors interviewed at the scene
said “The strong wind occurs around 3pm when some of the Ramadhan stalls
vendors are making preparation at the stall. The scene which occur few minutes
tend to blew stronger some of us seek shelter at the nearby Tudung Saji complex
and from there we can see the cars parked nearby are hit by the tent debris.”
The stalls are also being cordoned by the police personnel
from the Belait Police Station to make way for the cleanup and repair works
carried to the damaged tent. A team of firefighters from Belait Fire Station as well as officers and staffs from the Belait
