A fire broke out in a bedroom at the Compass Heights condominium in Sengkang on Monday afternoon (26 Apr).

In a Facebook post yesterday, the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said that it was alerted to the fire at about 12.05pm at 11 Sengkang Square.

According to the SCDF, the fire involved the contents of a bedroom in a unit on the eight floor.

“The fire had also caused the bedroom’s window panes to shatter,” it added.

Firefighters extinguished the fire using one water jet.

Two people were in the affected unit at the time of the blaze. They were assessed by the SCDF, and did not require medical assistance.

No other injuries were reported.

As a precautionary measure, about 20 people from the neighbouring units were evacuated.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.

A video circulating on social media shows the unit on fire from afar.

星展、渣打银行也被点名! 金管局详究可疑交易报告

国际调查记者联盟(ICIJ)踢爆,近20年来,包括德意志银行、摩根大通、汇丰、渣打和纽约梅隆等数家金融机构的防护出现漏洞,即使资金来源可疑,仍继续为“危险有力人士”转移资金,并从中获利! 这些数额高达两万多亿美元交易,可能涉及洗黑钱或其他犯罪活动。其中1780多宗交易,就流经新加坡,本地三家银行-星展银行、大华和华侨都涉及其中! 国际媒体BuzzFeed,取得了各家银行向美国财政部金融犯罪防制署(FinCEN)所申报2100多份“可疑活动报告”(SARs)的文件,并爆料给国际调查记者联盟和多家媒体。88个国家的一百多家媒体机构为此进行调查。 国际调查记者联盟甚至形容,上述两万多亿美元的可疑交易,还只是“流经各地银行脏钱洪流的一小滴”。因为这份报告仅仅是2011和 2017年之间,1千200万份可疑活动报告的0.02巴仙。 该报告发现,摩根大通、汇丰集团、渣打银行、德意志银行和纽约梅隆银行,即便罪犯已被控告或定罪,仍涉嫌协助罪犯转移资产。 对于上述报告,本地金融管理局(MAS)也表示正仔细研究,该局早前告知《亚洲新闻台》,尽管可疑交易报告并不意味着交易就是非法的,但当局仍十分重视。 该局也会根据审查结果,采取适当行动。 淡马锡在2006年投资渣打股,持股高达16巴仙,是渣打集团最大股东。在星展银行,淡马锡也持股29巴仙。
