SINGAPORE - Marina Square has removed a bollard from an escalator on its premises following a viral video that showed a floor plate of the escalator’s landing being lifted, revealing the escalator’s moving steps beneath.

A commenter then replied that a bollard at an escalator near the shopping centre’s taxi stand was no longer there when she visited on Nov 29. It was still there when she went on Nov 28, she said. The spokesperson said the magnetic bollards are not suitable for escalators with floor plates that are not secured with mechanical fasteners.
