Persevering with his mission to serve Bukit Batok, Singapore Democratic Party (SDP) chief, Chee Soon Juan highlighted another resident report on an infrastructure issue in the constituency.

Specifically, it appears that the lifts at Blk 621 in BB Central are on “autopilot”, stopping at every floor even when no one hit the button for that floor.

Sharing a video on his Facebook page on Wednesday (24 Mar) sent to Dr Chee by the resident showing the lift stopping at every floor, the veteran politician said in the caption, “Those living on the upper floors must be tearing their hair out.”

The video shows the lift door opening on the second, fifth, 13th, and 14th floors despite the button for those floors not being pressed.

The man filming the video can be heard saying, “Lift upgrading. All the three lifts are stopping on every floor, and my poor neighbour here is pressing the ‘door close’ button on every floor.”

He then urged the Jurong-Clementi Town Council (JRTC) to “get it fixed”.

防火安全修正法一读 500旧楼或强制安装警铃消防喉

防火安全修正法案昨日在国会一读,其中要求所有建筑物必须安装重要防火安全设施,直接影响了500栋建立于70、80年代的老旧建筑物,以及一些如医院和疗养院等高风险建筑物。 防火安全修正法令中提到需要修正的部分有三大类,即加强建筑物的防火安全;更好地使用民防资源,让部队能更专注于处理高风险的环节;为了让业界更了解防火条例,简化监管程序。 赋予民防部队更大权限 修正部分赋予了民防部队更大的调查和执法权力,在加强建筑物防火安全方面,强制要求所有建筑物业主增添防火设施,包括那些老旧建筑物和高风险建筑物。 而供应商和生产商必须获得证书,证明受管制的产品符合防火标准,否则将被指控为使用或是促使他人使用违例材料。 若修法通过,民防部队将强制要求业主为包括办公室、工业建筑和购物中心等,在1991年或2002年消防条例实施前建设的建筑物中,安装警铃系统和消防喉。 在有关条例前建设的建筑物一般没进行过增建和改建工程,且面对着如住户密集或高年龄层的住户等高风险。 因此,民防部队需要酌情评估如何翻新有需要的建筑物,并在必要情况下允许业主采用不同的解决方案或更长的时限。 民防部队也能够直接进入涉及触犯条例的场所、调查任何涉案人士等,对违例者采取行动。因此若他们发现建筑物内存在严重的火患风险,如居住区过渡拥挤、逃生到被阻等,可在首次发现时,无需发出任何消除火患危险通知书(Fire Hazard Abatement Notice)的情况下,就对业者进行提控。…
