A video showing residents cooking food along a Housing Board (HDB) corridor has drawn mixed reactions, with many netizens coming to their defence. The 22-second video was posted on social media on Monday (Nov 22) with the caption: 'Please do not cook along HDB...

Many also pointed out that this was a common sight during the"olden days" and shared their own memories of doing the same.However, some critics said that kumpung spirit should not come at the expense of safety risks and fire hazards.

One user wrote:"I see many people supporting these so called 'kampong spirit'. It's a fire hazard to cook food on corridors, not to mention their cooking setup might be combustible. People leave wooden items or clothes outside their corridors. I do not see a fire marshall or a fire extinguisher around."

A few also questioned why the residents had to cook along the corridor instead of in their own homes.
