The experts said that it is the design of the terminal building itself was the main culprit on how the smoke spread to the whole building. According to them, the room which contained the air-con that as the cause of the fire, was not well ventilated. Due to this, the smoke from the small fire spread quickly to other parts of the terminal. Experts have warned that having air-con in a room that is not well ventilated is not safe.

My family and I have been suffering from this polluting and health hazardous charcoal bbq smoke from a Bbq restaurant at 530 Geylang road 好张记烧烤, ever since we moved in Oct 2014. We have complained to NEA countless times. (Fyi, my upstairs neighbor has also complained to NEA few years ago) NEA was told that the restaurant has added carbon filter (with photo proof from the owner)and whatnot but NOTHING HAS CHANGED as we are still enduring the smoke nuisance EVERYDAY especially on weekends. This restaurant operates from 4pm to 5am EVERYDAY! Every evening, sometimes as early as 4.30pm, the bbq white smoke from the restaurant's chimney can been seen blowing onto the street and into my homes (living room and bedrooms).
