Safer than HDB


I have been wanting to make this post for a while. You can see above a very boring photo - a water sprinkler for a fire emergency. Why it deserves a place in this blog is that there are several of them in my apartment. Also this apartment cost my landlord less than the equivalent of S$500K back home. Some of you have seen photos of this place, and the views it offers. It is beautiful, comes with white goods, wardrobes, nicely tiled floor etc., by the way, there is also a free fire extinguisher.

Imagine if Singapore HDB flats and condos are also fitted this way (note my landlord pay only $500K), there would be far fewer sad stories of fires, loss, grief and death in our newspapers.

I almost forgot to mention that there is also a speaker in the living room where the building manager can pass us important messages - God forbid, a fire in the building. It is like what we have in our tall grade A office buildings back home.

You'd think HDB would have implemented this a long time ago.
