SINGAPORE - Some shopping malls are struggling to comply with fire safety rules as they abide by Covid-19 safe management measures.

Signs were placed on the barricades indicating that these were removable in the case of an emergency evacuation. "Many of my customers are older folks and climbing three flights of stairs is too tiring, so they prefer to dine at eateries located on the lower levels instead," said Mr Izat. He added that business is now 30 per cent of what it used to be.

Three other malls ST visited in the vicinity appeared to be complying with fire safety rules. Malls such as Funan and Raffles City Shopping Centre have locked sliding doors, which can be automatically released when the fire alarm is activated. "The SCDF enforcement team inspected the mall on Aug 7 and is satisfied with our fire safety compliance measures," he added.
