FUCK PAP
The wheel is what brand? Still intact after a fire.Fire breaks out in Ang Mo Kio HDB flat after PMD left to charge in kitchen, Singapore News
www.asiaone.com
SINGAPORE - A personal mobility device (PMD) left to charge in an Ang Mo Kio flat early on Monday (July 22) exploded in the afternoon, causing a fire that destroyed the flat and damaged two neighbouring units.
The e-scooter belonged to the fiance of the woman living in the rental flat who had charged his device in the kitchen before they both left for work.
But between 2pm and 3pm, the woman's older brothers, Mr Mohamad Fazir, 30, and Mohamad Fazrim, 26, who were in house at the time, heard a loud explosion.
Mr Fazir, who saw the e-scooter burst into flames, woke his brother, who was taking a nap in the living room, and they both rushed out of the front door.
"I saw the fire in front of my face and it spread so quickly," Mr Fazir told Yio Chu Kang's Citizens' Consultative chairman (CCC) Tung Yui Fai when he visited the victims at 7pm.

The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said in a Facebook post that it responded to a fire on a fourth-floor unit of Block 224 Ang Mo Kio Avenue 1 at about 3pm.
The fire was raging when the SCDF arrived, and one adult and three children were rescued from the unit next to the burning flat. Around 60 people from the affected block were evacuated by SCDF and police officers.
A video of the incident on YouTube showed plumes of smoke billowing out of the fourth-floor corridor as the fire engulfed the flat.
The fire was extinguished with one water jet.
Preliminary investigations into the cause of the fire indicate it was from a PMD placed in the kitchen, SCDF said.
This was the fourth fire that broke out in Housing Board flats this month, and the second fire involving PMDs in less than a week, putting PMD-related fires in the spotlight.
A 40-year-old man who was rescued from a burning Bukit Batok Housing Board flat on Thursday died in hospital. The fire was accidental and linked to three burnt personal mobility devices in the unit, according to preliminary investigations by SCDF.
The number of such fires have been on the rise, with 74 PMD-related fires reported last year, a 51 per cent spike from 2017, according to statistics from the SCDF.
Most occurred during charging or shortly after charging, according to the SCDF.
Ang Mo Kio GRC MP Koh Poh Koon, who visited the block earlier, told reporters that the affected family would be housed temporarily in a flat on the second floor of the block.
When The Straits Times arrived at the scene at 5.40pm on Monday, Mr Fazir's family and their relatives were moving their mattresses and household items they could salvage into the one-room flat.
The fiance of Mr Fazir's sister, both of whom did not want to be named, said: "It's strange because I've had this e-scooter for two years."
Mr Fazir, including his parents, two of his brothers and his youngest sister lived in the flat.

His sister-in-law, who also declined to be named, said all the siblings used to work as food delivery riders and had their own PMDs in the flat until they switched jobs about a year ago.
She said Mr Fazir's mother, who was at the market when the fire broke out, would always unplug the PMDs once they were fully charged.
She added: "It's just unfortunate that the e-scooter exploded in the house today, when the previous PMDs were fine."
The exterior of the two units next to the burnt-down flat were charred and the fire destroyed the electrical wires of one of the units, causing a power outage in the house.
The flat's owner, who wanted to be known only as Mr Muhammad, said his wife and children, all under the age of six, heard the explosion and huddled in a room.
Mr Fazir told Mr Tung: "I asked my neighbour (Mr Muhammad's wife) to come out of the house after my brother and I ran out of the flat, but she didn't."
Mr Muhammad, who works as a freelance mover and boat assistant, said: "There was a blackout and my wife was afraid to get out of the room. The SCDF rescued them."
At 7.15pm, Mr Tung and members of the CCC, including the neighbourhood's Citizens On Patrol, brought household necessities to Mr Fazir's family in their temporary flat on the second floor.

ALL I KNOW IS FUCK PAP
Geez. But to take something positive out of this unfortunate episode, it's now publicised for users (and general public).
Also with Glockman's bit on battery risks.
Personally, I can't help but recently notice the speedy (careless) PMD idiots. Some add to misery with loud music blaring

Why should it stop? These idiots must be finished off
PAP should give every sinkee a PMD as part of its pre-election goodies package.
Pap did implement a new standard, but the ppl kpkb n now this is the result.. however one thing pap can do is ensure existing pmds without battery mgt systems be banned or to release a list of safer pmds. But the pmd owners need to take responsibility too
LTA to review deadline for PMD safety certificate after spate of fire incidents

SINGAPORE: The Land Transport Authority (LTA) said on Tuesday (Jul 23) that it is considering bringing forward the end-2020 deadline for all motorised personal mobility devices (PMDs) to meet fire safety standards.
This is in light of recent fires related to the charging of non-UL2272-certified devices, said an LTA spokesperson in an email.
READ: Fires involving e-scooters, e-bikes spike by 50% in 2018
On Monday, a PMD placed in the kitchen of an Ang Mo Kio flat likely sparked a fire causing about 60 people to be evacuated. The blaze was the latest in a string of recent PMD-related fires, one of which claimed the life of a 40-year-old man last week.
"To improve public safety and minimise fire incidents, LTA adopted the UL2272 safety standard in September 2018 and mandated that all devices sold from Jul 1, 2019, must be UL2272-certified," said the spokesperson.
It will be illegal from January 2021 to use devices which are not UL2272 compliant on public paths.
"The timelines for the implementation of the UL2272 safety standards took into account public feedback including from users and retailers."
In the email, the spokesperson said LTA strongly encouraged PMD owners to switch out early "for their own safety as well as those around them".
"Conformity with UL2272 requires a PMD to pass a stringent set of tests which significantly improves safety against fire and electrical hazards."
LTA reminded the public that when purchasing PMDs, consumers should try to buy from reputable sources and look out for their UL2272 certification.
The authority added that consumers should also avoid overcharging batteries, modifying their PMDs or tampering with the electrical components of their devices.
