JAKARTA - South Jakarta Metro Police Chief Kombes Budhi Herdi Susianto said five people were injured by ornaments on the ceiling of Lippo Mall Kemang, South Jakarta, when strong winds hit.

"There are no fatalities. There are only a few people with minor injuries," said Kombes Budhi Herdi Susianto, quoted by Antara, Saturday, March 5.

Kombes Budhi said that when the ornament fell, the mall was not too crowded and there were no visitors who reported it because they only suffered minor injuries.

Kombes Budhi also straightened out the news that the ceiling of the Lippo Mall Kemang atrium collapsed.

He said that one of the ornaments installed on the ceiling of Lippo Mall Kemang fell.
