Fire at Plaza Singapura
-
just read this from the today newspaper
Fire! But they were told to pay first before leaving
A frx n i wre having dinner at Swensen's resturant when the fire brok out.
Our dinner had only just been served n we had barely started eating, but it was smoking n there requests from the pubilc address sysytem for everyone to leave immediately.
so, the customers in Sewensen's got up to evacuate the site.
at this point, the staff of Swensen's blocked the way n insisted we pay b4 leaving.
This meant tat ard 30 ppl 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 15mins to collect payment before allowing us to leave.
the 15 mins could easily haf cost lives. wat if something had exploded? or if children had passed out from smoke inhalation?..............................

maybe they think the smoke adds to the ambience.Originally posted by Gordonator:should look at those people still eating even when the fire has already started.

I think similar scenario has happened before elsewhere but this time it is a karaoke outlet? They draw down the barricades to prevent customers leaving until they have paid up?
Maybe making money is more important than saving lives hahaha...... -
This is an extremely serious matter. The authorities need to come down hard on Swensons in order to prevent future tragedies from happening. A heavy fine plus suspension of its business licence for at least 6 months should be imposed on them.
