SINGAPORE: Mr Muhammad had been in his room, playing with his phone when he heard “funny noises” late on Thursday night.Heading out to the living room, he noticed thick, black smoke “seeping" into his flat on the second floor of Block 537 Woodlands Drive 16.
Mr Muhammad was one of the two families who helped put out the fire, which broke out at about 11.25pm on Thursday. They lived nearest to the lift. Mr Muhammad said the police asked him to inform the victim's next-of-kin of the incident, who lived on a higher floor. As he ran up the block, neighbours peered out of the corridors, said Mr Muhammad.
Mdm Teo, 70, who also lives on the third floor, said that she had shut her doors and windows when she first saw the smoke - but that it still crept in through the crevices. She also smelled burning plastic. Ms Fica said that she saw the victim being wheeled into an ambulance on a stretcher. His skin had" white" from the burns, although he was still breathing, she said.
While he said he did not have the full details, Mr Nair said he was aware that the victim’s PMD had caught fire, causing the inside of the lift to burn."The victim came out screaming two residents put the fire out," he said.
My heart goes out to the victim's family. Such a kind boy who also did charity work. 😢 He will be in heaven. 😔
How many people are going to die before the government thoroughly bans made in China PMDs？
See.wheels with electric full charging battery 's , are so dangerous.....
I thought PMDs were banned. What a fatal price to pay for such a meagre scrape of mobility convenience.
Poor thing. 🙏
