Honesty from the PAP, you got to be joking.
Foreign Minister in Parliament used fallacious data to support its attack on WP TC;
Vivian lied about the cleaning of hawker centre fiasco;
Rat epidemic - minister said nothing.
Billions lost by Temasek - PM said nothing.
Please lah ...tell me what honesty is there in the PAP government?
...According to the Fire Safety Code administered by SCDF, the minimum width of common corridors needs to be 1.2m. At 1.17m in some places of the corridors of Pasir Ris One, this is clearly a violation of the Fire Safety Code.
In response to the narrow corridor issue, BCA (Building and Construction Authority) states that under its Code on Accessibility, common corridors must also have a minimum of 1.2m width so as to allow unimpeded access for persons on wheelchair.
BCA said that before issuing the Temporary Occupancy Permit (TOP), inspections had been conducted at Pasir Ris One and it found that generally the corridors are 1.2m wide.
As for the current measure of 1.17 m width at some places of Pasir Ris One’s corridors, BCA felt that the 3 cm difference may be due to “error during construction phase”. But, BCA said that this difference does not impact the accessibility of persons on wheelchairs.
BCA has stipulated the 1.2m minimum width requirement of corridors in its 2013 Code on Accessibility. But from April 2014 last year, it updated its code stipulating that corridors would need to have a minimum of 1.5m width.

You have brought out the essence of Code of Practice. The min figure should be final, no bargaining. They also used the word "generally the corridors are 1.2 m" in their defence for issuing TOP. Very sad that it is like that now. In the past, we don't dare play such game with authority. They were capable of making us hack everything to comply even if it is 1 cm. Too lenient, contractor will shit on their head in no time.If 1.17 is ok, what about 1.16? 1.15? 1.14? ... when is it NOT ok?
What is the real minimum?!

Agreed. But since bca was the one who has carried out the inspection, I think for dbss, the developer must do all submissions just like as if it is a pte development. As such it is quite surprising that they managed to clear bca.If its HDB its ok, try the private sector, bldg a flat without a fire escape back door.

The real minimum is what your 'trusted' papies says so.
So how does it feel like to see the 'true colors' of your pappy master screwing you?
Shiok? LoL

Simple. No fat people allowed in this flat. If u exceed the width and weight limit, u have to go for obese course or Barr from entry!
There are reasons for standards.
For example, If there were no standards then how would SCDF personnel know that the stretcher they are using would fit in the corridors of a Spore home Imagine how inconvenient it would be if wheelchairs didn't't fit or when you buy a bed & find that you can't get it into you home
We have always taken for granted that things worked in Spore but nowadays we cannot assume so when even our regulators take a chin chye attitude
How is this poor lady going to get back to her apartment???
