A second staircase is a second exit from an upper floor. That case where the three boys suffocated had one guy jump out the window to escape. We live in an intermediate single storey terraced house that we're adding one or two storeys to. Imagine being stuck on the third floor because your stairs is filled with smoke or its too hot to go down through the stairs. We'll be having two stairs, one in front, one behind.

The second staircase is a seperate issue from grilles. I'm just pointing out that most multi-storey houses only have one staircase so in case of a fire emergency they only have one available exit route from the upper floor.

Of course, you don't really need a second staircase. They have those folding attic ladders on the market here in Malaysia. 

My other concern is fire safety. I mean with all these grills and barlocks, how does one have a fire escape plan? Most houses only have one staircase too. There was a recent case here where three boys were on the second floor when a fire broke out and they were stuck on the second floor and suffocated. :/

Nice WC, "Lago" by JS. Bit pricey for me, my budget should be below RM600 for JS 'Como'.
I also like yor oval shaped washing basin on the counter top, do you cover-up the pipes fittings, like a boxed up cabinet or leaving exposed? Those ready made basin and cabinet combo set looks boring to me already, most house have it,...no?

I bought Lago as well and a set of JS Vanezia. Lago is the best selling model of JS and I was told by the sales assistant that it has superb wash down system. Besides that, it is also very comfortable for sitting. When I did my WC shopping, I tried to sit on most of them to feel the 'best sitting' ones for my buttock! Hahaha! 
I've tried the 'como' at my friend's house and find that it is not so comfortable as the bowl is slightly smaller for me and the seat cover was like 'clashing' with my buttock bones causing leg numb after 'making business'... 
Thus, you gotta sit on those WC to find your best matching ones. 

what is door architrave and skim coat? already google. but hard to understand. sori

Actually I forgot what model I got. Just buy within my budget + the look is ok.

Frankly, JS quality so so only after I use for 2 years. The Lago flughing system now not working perfect, when new I just press once and the water fully flush out but now I got to press few more second to make sure the water are flish out.

Oh, and try visit JF Home @ USG 9, price maybe cheaper than what you find even someone offered in this Forum.

JF Home @ USG 9 Or USJ 9? Do they sell other bathroom accesories as well?
