QUOTE(treblecase @ Nov 27 2025, 09:03 PM) Whoever introduced sinking fund for apartment owners in mesia ought to be given a tunship. HK don’t have such thing hence when it comes to renovation/refurbishment, owners gotta fork out lump sum. Those who disagreed would eventually need to pay. This new to me… sinking fund from UK and commonwealth and many other countries also got and even USA got HOA fee. Hk as former uk colony somehow skipped this?? |

QUOTE(ScooterBoi @ Nov 28 2025, 01:30 AM) It's a fire trap and disaster awaiting anyone - any resident or outsider - to set it alight. And it's not one building under renovation, but all 8 buildings under going renovation at one go. When the final death toll is confirmed, everyone will look like fools. QUOTE(dickybird @ Nov 28 2025, 01:43 AM) Grenfell Tower vibes. Flammable cladding killing people with fire and fumes. death toll will far exceed grenfell. buildings are taller and denser, and 7 buildings on fire vs one, and majority of residents are elderly... national tragedy and mourning day |

QUOTE(ye0073 @ Nov 28 2025, 04:46 PM) or Follow us, all commercial lot needs to install water sprinkler in every apartment unit. they also have that law la. the problem is this building is old and before such laws. our old buildings, many also dont have sprinkler. and some countries have laws saying must retrofit sprinkler system on old building, but its very very expensive and thats why such laws very hard to pass or implement.even today, I wonder whether our rumahWIP have mandatory sprinkler system?
