ciggy butt fire up the netting or styrofoam

Malaysia high rise building hardly will spread to next door one lah, it has fireproof wall or clay brick wall which able to withstand fire for up to 2 hours

Do your part by ditching gas cooking then.

I’m “gas tank” free, full induction/ceramic cooker.

latest development even for the residential title development, the unit is fitted with smoke detector in all room and connected to control room. while the main door is fire rated for one hour

Damn that is sad, the way i see really no way to run, run to rooftop also cannot escape.

Can't blame firefighters on this matter, they are worry fire debris dropping down and hurt them, with 3-5 mins i doubt fire fighters can reach on time. Whether they got floorplan is another story.

Reminds me of the Thailand building collapse recently. Some were arrested and then everything went quiet.

From the interview, I suspect he is part of a voluntary watchdog group that go around many projects and report irregularities and offences to authorities.

Hence he and his team are deemed trouble makers by the industry and also authorities who are “beneficial stakeholders” to the lucrative industry.

I just hope you are right and no corners are cut during construction. I hate to see a recurrence of this in Malaysia and then Gov issue committee and RCI to ‘investigate’ …

Eh, not surprised got link to underworld. Even the labour unions from day 1 in us also involved. Read the novelisation 'fist' starring Sylvester Stallone. It's a very good novel loosely based/inspired on Jimmy Hoffa & shows how the mob gets involved.

Personally, it's a moot point whether the authorities total or partial.ban on bamboo as it's a dying industry. I read 2 conflicting reports say only got about 4k workers who can set up the bamboo scaffolding.

Other one says 2500 sifus are officially registered so I assumed the remainder 1500 are apprentices.

Even if authorities determine bamboo isn't the cause. The industry will slowly die a.natural death.

I think HK will be record holder for many decades to come with this “7 towers ablaze” tragedy. Hopefully no other countries would ever come close to such record.

Hope the Hongkies ditch their proud bamboos heritage and move on with metal scaffolding like the rest of the world.

How many towers does mini HK has a? Also there is one mini HK in Penang on way to Penang airport. Scary!

this apartment block is old (1983) , no fire sprinkler system, and is low cost public housing like PPR. even UK also did not have mandatory fire sprinkler law for their council flats until recently.

where got 100m? none of the fire ladders reach the top also...

I saw those video their love one video call them, damn sad. Like those black smoke slowly engulfing the whole unit.

I think high density and crowded blocks next to each other also may not resulted in similar tragedy. This historical HK tragedy was due to all 8 blocks of apartments fully wrapped in flammable materials.

In normal apartment fire, it is abnormal to burn down whole block, even less likely to spread to other blocks.

The UK apartment burnt down because they use flammable heat proofing material on the external wall due to their seasonal climate. Our apartment wall here is merely concrete.

I suppose you are right cos whatever I know or mentioned are from movies… 😂😂😂😂😂

Cant imagine this happen in Rumah Wip... HK 8 blocks apartment are just under 2k unit or 250 unit per tower... rumah wip....i think more than 4/500 unit per tower?

If follow old guideline, residential macam no need oh, only require to place fire extinguisher

We are all just kopitiam blow water expert only

🤔

Now many HKger said blaming on bamboo scaffolding is a conspiracy from China to replace it with metal, they want to preserve it.

I think the fire ladders they got are only up to 60m high
