Saktiandi Supaat on Civil Defence Shelter and Fire Safety (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill
With a new Bill that strengthens provisions dealing with obstructions to fire safety, MP Saktiandi Supaat sought clarification on how responsibility will be determined in “more complex situations”. He noted that in an estate, condominium, commercial development or mixed-use building, responsibility for a particular space or safety measure may involve different parties - an owner, occupier, MCST, managing agent, tenant or contractor. He wanted to know how the Singapore Civil Defence Force will determine who is accountable and, particularly where strict liability applies, if it will provide practical guidance on reasonable steps that are expected to be taken. Mr Saktiandi spoke in parliament on Tuesday (Sep 8).
