20-year-old man dies after PMD catches fire in lift in Woodlands 

Next time I see a PMD rider waiting at the lift, I'll wait for another lift. It's crazy to go out this way.... Final Destination vibes...

RIP. I can't imagine how terrifying it is to be trapped in such an enclosed space and being burned alive..

Damn scared now lol. Not gonna share a lift with anyone who’s bringing their PMDs in no offence to them. May he rest in peace

That's why the management at my condo bans delivery riders' PMDs from even entering the estate. They have to park outside and walk in.

Some pmd riders never learnt their lesson!

Government should proactively clamped down on these illegal PMDs instead of giving passive reminders. These fires can affect innocent neighbours

*Call it a good lesson, warning or reminder to all PMD owner out there to better be prepared when you messed up with a diabolical stuff cos someday it will get you good and bring you down to your knees*

So many illegal PMD still on the road, its just shows LTA is not serious of getting rid all these illegal PMD off the street. They can easily catch all these illegal PMD at shopping mall where most food delivery rider park their PMD.

Ban PMD. It gives more harm than benefits. Many fire cases and more getting injured related to PMD.

Hmm the only reasons i can think that the PMD caught fire is that the PMD is modified beyond the safety or the battery was faulty or old either way may this young man find peace

Jail term for those hanging on to such devices should be the fastest way to go.

He will haunt the lift forever

Omg. May he rest in peace 🙏

Why there's no fire extinguisher at our HBD block.. They have AED but no fire extinguisher. The gov should consider placing this...while waiting for scdf to come. At least it could help...

PMD exploding in an enclosed space like the lift there is just a nightmare and torture. May he rest in peace. Al fatiha 🤲🏻 Gonna remind myself always not to take the lift with someone who has a PMD. A freaking time bomb.

Lithium batteries are dangerous...

Just ban PMDs pls

It's high time to put extinguisher or fire safety inside the lift🤔

Ban pmd!

Ban the PMD.

One fire too many involving PMD. Authority should consider regular mandatory inspection for such vehicles. Almost each month we have fire in HDB flats. Time to act lawmakers!!!

isn't this thing banned already?

Now to note never enter the lift when there's PMD inside. Not going to die together with inconsiderate people. May this be a strict warning to those who still has non-compliant PMDs. To clarify - Am sure there are people who obey the rules but doubt anyone can tell from the naked eye if a PMD is compliant or not. So unless you can differentiate, this incident taught us to exercise caution when using the lift with PMDs inside in future.

And the authorities still approve PMD. Luckily there's no other people inside the lift otherwise ai wan.

Rest in Peace to the victim 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

PMDs should only be used by those who really needs it like the elderly and handicapped not able-bodied people

What is the model of the PMD?

He literally took the lift and went up in flames.

Its quite weird to call a 20 year old a man

*Think its time to install water sprinkler inside the lift*

Young people need to understand that not everything is heck care or without consequences. Often there are good reasons when people advise or require - i this case PMDs to have UL2272 certification... This requirement has been around for perhaps 2 years? And there have been other instances of non compliant PMD that exploded and caused fires in units... To those who still have non compliant PMDs - don't continue taking the risk anymore - surely nothing is worth being burnt alive (I am being blunt here)

First in China, now in Singapore

Never play a fire

*Wondering if the PMD was being charged inside the lift?*

imagine those huge very powerful lithium batteries in future cars, what are the chances those suddenly blows up or in the event of an accident..

This is warning to those with pmds. What if the fire started in his house and in the middle of the night. Time to dispose all pmds. Also warning to those with prc made cordless vacuum cleaner.

The fire was at 11:25pm I think

Wow. The fire spread wide. How can one PMD do such damage?!

R.I.P Mitsubishi elevator😢

seems like karma took an ugly turn

Facts are , old people pmd never had a fire problem so far as I see. It's always the younger people or food delivery.

I hope he is not a food delivery guy who's dependent on his PMD to do his job.

In my opinion, Recycling company are mostly unethical indirectly, they are possibly collecting all these expensive PMDs for free or throw away price, dismantle them for parts and resell international making huge profiles, its virtually like a "Sure Gain" business strategy. Lots of electronical gadgets such as cameras, phones, TV, laptops are too resold into local community from various platform like carosell or export out to those lower tier countries. If you view carosell you will know why there are 1-2 sellers selling away old digital cameras or other gadgets at hefty overpriced value. There are even lots of corrupted individuals from these recycling companies taking away better valued item for themselves before even reaching the recycling compound. These days lots of individuals and business are taking advantages of kind givings from there they make tons of money due to such corruptions. Singapore doesnt have guidelines to tackle corruption well in my opinion! Corrupted Business individuals oftern get away scotts free building up their wealth from illgeal practices.

Seems more like an explosion the way the lift lobby was damaged

Yes PMD is a convenient cheap mode of transport BUT you pay with your own life and other ppl’s life too if they are near it when it happens And the damages your parents or family members have to pay

Keith.... Keith... Fire fire burn so high, after China incident now Singapore.. 🇸🇬🇸🇬🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

People blame on people near the building fire for not calling the fire fighter and also Singapore might become a cold county

Just cycle

We can expect more battery related fire when electric car start to phase in. And, battery shop bring in cheaper generic battery to replaced the original when it reaches it maximum lifespan. This could be the case for PMD too which have caused many fires.

As much as my condolences are with him and his family.......out of curiosity......Why is a 20 year old riding a pmd?

Honestly, not sure this could have been a scene in Seinfeld or if I ought to cry. If you are up-riding to the 15th floor and something happens inside, immediately hit the nearest floor buttons to exit. (Don't hit the Emergency Stop for example. Not applicable here.) Don't continue to ride till your floor. Panic is the worst enemy. The problem with these PMD electrical fires is that they can be pretty intense with flames flaring up quickly. That's easily how the fire transfers from the device to one's clothing. The best action is to get out quickly.

Never share a lift with someone on a motorised bike or scooter as lithium battery burns white hot. That’s why charging lithium battery at home is not recommended as it burns quickly and at high temperatures . Watch ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-T71cVhxG_v4.html

fire??? in the lift?

lift looks scary

RIP

Mitsubishi lift ?

If I died then my mom will never get her diamond I will stay away from any pmds and elevator😔

PMD users should be from using public transport & etc

I dont feel any sadness for that guy . Lucky the neighbors are safe

Omg the poor young men

there's no data on whether any fires were caused by devices that meet safety requirements (e.g. UL2272)

Should sell the pmds to the Malaysian

Definately a modified PMD

Just walk lah.... Stop being lazy. Go everywhere must take bicycle, pmds or order grab. Just use your legs lah.

Woooow 😢

Nice now I have a new fear

Food panda or grab delivery ??

I will take stairs anytime

oof I foresee another debate in the parliament about pmds

Maybe Because The E Bike

Supernatural Compassion : it must be the hantu!

❤❤❤❤

Don't forget to send him offerings during hungry ghost festival!

Gd lesson to all pmd user....

The authorities concerned should have check before it licenced to be sold for safety sake ,PARTICULARLY those electrical products that are manufactured and imported from CHINA!! It's sad that the innocent man has to face such a tragic accident 😔😢.

Orbie good :) never liked PMD riders. Have leg use bicycle, don’t wayang wayang zoom on your pmd. 👏🏻

:(

Poor guy

Where is Superman and Wonder Woman? Or they only exist in Hollywood?
