Awwww I miss all of you toooooo....
*receives numerous gifts and presents and ang baos from everyone*
Yup I'm safe and back from Genting. On tuesday night actually. Been doing bits and pieces of my soon-to-be gargantuan recollection of my trip, but before that's done, below's a forum article from today's paper. You all heard about the fire evacuation from Plaza Singapura right.
Friday • June 24, 2005
I REFER to the small fire that broke out at Plaza Singapura on Tuesday night. While it was rather scary being at the scene, I thought the building's staff and management reacted quickly and professionally.
However, I'd like to draw attention to a dangerous and irresponsible act by one tenant.
A friend and I were having dinner at the Swensen's restaurant when the fire broke out.
Our dinner had only just been served and we had barely started eating, but it was smoking and there were requests on the public address system for everyone to leave immediately.
So, the customers in Swensen's got up to evacuate the site.
At this point, the staff of Swensen's blocked the way and insisted we pay before leaving.
This meant that around 30 people had to wait in line to pay, when the building had already been evacuated and smoke was filling the restaurant!
The manager told us they were given 15 minutes to collect payment before allowing us to leave.
The 15 minutes could easily have cost lives. What if something had exploded? Or if children had passed out from smoke inhalation?
I am disgusted at this ridiculous prioritising of money over life. I hope something can be done to prevent such irresponsible acts from occurring again.

Hahahahaha. Swensens Plaza Sing. Down you go. EVEN IF in the protocol it's written 15mins to be given, please exercise common sense and evacuate everyone. A little reputation goes a long way. Let's see if there's a reply to that.
