The blaze charred the interiors of both units and caused heat and soot damage to adjacent flats.

Five individuals, aged between 12 and 74, including the suspect, were taken to hospital conscious.

Police later arrested the man for the offence of mischief by fire.

SCDF urged residents to keep common corridors, lift lobbies, and staircases free of clutter to reduce fire risks

SCDF urge residents. This is the Singapore Mayors job to remind including old stubborn folks. If not, maybe they should highlight to the Ministers for some serious debate and discussion where fines will be applied instead.

Our SG Mayors do not do 90% of the Mayors Job

They only collect salary while other Depts do their job

MCYS, Town Council . . . are the REAL Mayors of Singapore
