Houseowner Pesi B. Chacha had a 'visitor' dropping in at his swimming pool on Saturday. It was a section of a metal fence from a construction site behind his bungalow. It toppled after heavy rain lashed the Kheam Hock Road area in Bukit Timah. The fence also broke a garden lamp and hit the roof of the house.
He was reading in his bedroom when he heard a loud crash at about 3.30pm. After the initial shock, he alerted the authorities and The Sunday Times. The heavy rain also caused damage to the bungalow next door. Mrs Chacha alerted neighbour Suresh Devi, 61, about the landslide.
'I was shocked to see my collapsed wall,' said Ms Devi. Both houses are sited about a few metres below the construction site which used to house the Hillpark condo.

This is uninvited guest for the family.
The contractors will have to foot the bill of re-constructing the wall and make good the damage to the swimming pool.
You may wish to know that the family can also sue the contractor for medical expenses resulting in the collapse of the metal fence such as being frighten to a certain extent.
Haha.
Some income for the family.
