In a Facebook post on Thursday (19 June), a woman named Siti Nurhashikin said the collapse happened when her 65-year-old father was in the toilet at 4.30am that morning.

He was getting ready for morning prayers and sitting on the toilet bowl when the concrete ceiling “fell directly” onto him, she said.

A photo she shared showed large chunks of concrete lying on her bathroom floor, with several blood droplets on them.
