The incident is believed to have occurred on Saturday (Mar 8) evening, reported Malaysian media outlets Oriental Daily and China Press.
As of the time of writing, it's not immediately clear which floor was affected or if there have been any injuries.
Clips posted on social media platform Xiaohongshu and TikTok show several shop kiosks located near a mall escalator affected by the collapse.
Bent metal frames from the false ceiling were also seen dangling in the air and on the ground.
One Xiaohongshu user who shared a video of the scene yesterday evening claimed there were no injuries.
Another video shared online shows that some of the kiosks had been struck by the ceiling, and the area had been cordoned off.
Larkin Fire Station chief Mohd Suhaimi Abdul Jamal told The Star on Sunday that no report has been made concerning the incident, while JB southern district police chief Raub Selamat said police are currently investigating the matter although they did not receive any reports.
KSL City Mall is about a 10 minutes' drive from the JB checkpoint and is a popular destination for Singaporeans.
