Syed Harun Alhabsyi on fire safety in private residences with higher occupancy cap
All residential premises in Singapore are subject to fire safety requirements regulated by the Singapore Civil Defence Force, such as well-ventilated fire escape routes. Each residential unit is also designed as a fire compartment to delay the spread of a fire. These standards remain sufficient even with the temporary higher occupancy cap for larger private residential properties. Senior Parliamentary Secretary for National Development Syed Harun Alhabsyi said this in parliament on Wednesday (Feb 25) in response to an MP’s questions.
