SINGAPORE - A fire about the size of a football field at an industrial building in Tuas was brought under control by firefighters from the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) early on Wednesday morning.

The SCDF was alerted to the fire at 11 Tuas Link 1 around 2.05am and dispatched firefighters from two stations and the special rescue unit to restrict its spread.

The building is occupied by Megachem, a wholesaler and distributor for speciality chemicals. The SCDF said chemicals were stored on the premises, without revealing any information on the cause of the fire.

Five water and foam jets and two unmanned firefighting machine were deployed in what the SCDF said would be an extended operation. As at 6.10am, firefighting operations were still ongoing.

Members of the public are advised to avoid the area.
Rail operator SMRT said on Wednesday morning that train services between the Tuas Link and Tuas West Road stations on the East-West MRT line were disrupted. Free bus bridging services are available.

It was a bad idea to extend the MRT line to that industrial shithole, even Joo Koon was pushing it too far.

But a totalitarian regime needs to constantly build to grow the economy. That's the only lifeline.

If you think this is bad, wait till the clusterfuck of the Jurong Region Line becomes operational.

And fuck them for sacrificing a fitness corner to build the station at Pandan Reservoir.
