Remember years back uncle chew talked about a bank underground carpark, security patrol can hear metal chain clanging, children running around, giggling. wonder which one is it?
Personally I consider that is the most frightening episode.
Call BS on that

A 74-year-old man, who wanted to be known only as Mr Chia, was in a lift at 6.30pm at UOB Plaza 1 in Raffles Place with his wife and daughter, heading to Si Chuan Dou Hua restaurant on the 60th floor, when he felt a sudden jolt. The lift stopped at the fourth floor, before making a quick descent to the second.

Mr Chia rang the alarm bell in the lift repeatedly to get help, while his wife tried to calm their 14-year-old daughter.

You guys seriously think building management would spend $$$ for onsite tech crew?

Trap for 3 hour must be very hungry liao.

ST reported that although the restaurant was closed by the time, the manager invited the family in for a light meal.
