The incredible burning furniture malls of Malaysia


I don't have statistics on hand but it seems Malaysian furniture malls are very susceptible to being burned. This one along Jalan Ipoh is the third furniture mall that I know which has been gutted in less than 2 years. The other 2 were at Old Klang Road and opposite Desa Seri Petaling.

Are our fire safety regulations so poor that these large malls can burn down so easily? This particular one, called the Sky River Interior World Centre, lasted less than 2 years before it went up in flames in just one night. It's a miracle that nobody gets hurt.

Failed business? A quick way out of debt? Who knows. I just feel sorry for the people who have placed deposits on furniture to find their new acquisitions go up in smoke the next day.
