Big fire in a HDB unit

[semiret]

Need to repaint the whole blk

This type of fire the burn marks on the walls exposed to the fire will turns black very fast one. My old flat where the ex-owner placed a altar cabinet the ceiling keeps turning black. I've to keep painting 2-3 layers of paint every alternate years. Damn troublesome and Good Luck to them.

Imagine owning a $1.5m HDB flat and the unit below yours caught fire.

as singapore becomes more densely populated than before..
as cheap powerbanks and batteries for PMD/PMAs/Electric bikes proliferate in HDBs

there is a need for government to start clamping down on illegal and cheap/not singapore approved brands and Batteries.

Not saying it is battery fire.. but i am saying this should be a consideration.

population growing old ...
old ppl still wanna go out gai gai
they should have authorised dealer for certain fix speed pma
and only these type of pma is allowed
all other type of non approve pmd or pma ... catch and fine

but this way they will need to take up the ownership
+ the food delivery folk will f them gao gao

This is why I expected something like this happened. But have to confirm with the neighbors if they heard anything like an explosion of sorts.

Owner says clothes dryer started fire. Must be weather too hot x china-made dryer.

Hope the neighbors got buy home insurance if no GG liao. The old generation seldom buy home insurance one. They thought HDB fire insurance will covered this type of fire. They didn't known that HDB fire insurance only covered structure damages. Not sure if they can claims from the owner that house started the fire? Good Luck to them.

You got buyed what insurance?
