SCDF. Do due diligence and mandate secure PMA/D storage facilities at void decks away from emergency egress routes.

These fscking things are more volatile than LPG canisters .

Roast pork in the making?

Charging their PMA/PMD (and catching fire) in the common corridor caused problems for all their neighbours.

Imagine this happened inside mrt train where passengers got no space to run esp during peak hr period. Time for MRT to ban this PMD/PMA

very dangerous..
charged in Kitchen will chibaboom with all the gases and become no escape.
charged in the living room will become no escape.

charged under HDB void deck, chibaboom will be chain effect and like demolition on beams.

Please ban it now before real harm happen. Example in the morning crowded MRT/LRT train.

We must not discriminate. Everyone deserves to go out using the help of a pmd/pma

 

[dambio]

They own 3 pmas

One of the family members, 30-year-old Rizwan, told Lianhe Zaobao that his family owns three PMAs — two for his elderly grandparents and one for his mother, 51, who works as a food delivery rider.

But he was unaware that his mother had borrowed a cheap battery from someone as she felt her PMA battery did not last long enough.

This battery burst into flames shortly after she plugged it in to charge after making a delivery.

Goh stated that she had visited the unit affected by the fire and spoke to the family.

"Most of the damage was external, and thankfully, everyone is safe," she wrote.

More needs to be done. Or "authorities" are still monitoring, and then patting themselves on their backs, when "thankfully, everyone is safe"? Everyone can see that such sudden combustion is getting more regular and could lead to potential huge casualties - not only to neighbouring HDB-dwellers, but hundreds of train commuters, trapped inside train cabins with PMAs.

[boredom2012]

Grab should banned using pma for delivery

 

[Krabs.]

they tried their best liao .... same as edmwer's selfish suggestion to charge in corridor instead of inside

 

[ZaiNan]

Why PMA no need pay road tax or pavement tax?

All those cements is us taxpayers funded one leh

 

[RuneArmour]

If this was in North Korea, i would have reported the owner of the PMA and the family to the authorities and have them sent to the firing squad alr.

No need to hear simi sob story like health issues la, earn money la. Once others are endangered, just prepare to stand in the execution ground. No need to talk.
