SINGAPORE: Five shopping malls were found to have padlocked several exit doors during recent enforcement checks, breaching fire safety ...

TODAY reported that People's Park Centre is among the five malls that breached the fire safety rules and were issued Fire Hazard Abatement Notices and/or fines. SCDF declined to disclose the names of the other four malls."Buildings are still required to comply with fire safety requirements, including ensuring quick and safe evacuation of persons during a fire emergency, even as they implement COVID-19 safe management measures," said SCDF.

Buildings that restrict access to entry or exit points must ensure these points can be automatically unlocked for evacuation and physical barricades must be easily removable, it added.
