Incense burning bins at Toh Guan left unattended, resulting in soot marks on walls

STOMPer Derrick noticed that a resident at the 15th floor of Block 272 Toh Guan Road would leave the burning bins unattended, while burning incense. This woud result in soot marks on the walls and ceiling.

Said the STOMPer:

"I happened to see inconsiderate neighbours burning their incense paper at the lift corridor when there are burning bins (facilities provided by the Town Council) located at the void deck.

"During the process of burning, the neighbours left their burner unattended and in the end, this resulted in black soot and marks being left at the location.

"Verbal warnings have been given to the affected unit by the Town Council all these while (Offence committed not the first time, for three years), but nonetheless, the inconsiderate neighbours ignore the warning repeatedly and continue do their burning activities and stuffs, right at the lift corridor.

"I am just wondering where and when will the ban on burning activities (such as incense burning) at the lift corridors, or common corridors be enforced? Or the enforcement will only apply when someone is hurt during the fire hazard, and property is damage.

"I have seen the entire process of the burning flow take place, and my only comment is when they are burning, you can expect think smoke and flames right at the common corridor. Half burnt incense paper will be flying throughout everywhere.

"If you never shut your main door, fire hazard can take place when the half burnt incense paper flies into your home.

"My concern is some kind of strict enforcement needs to be applied to the lift corridors (for example, no smoking has been effectively ban on lifts, perhaps, this can be applied to the incense burner) before serious damage is done by the unnoticed fire hazard."

The recent case of the sisters fighting with their neighbor over incense burning, causing the death of the neighbor, had shown the consequences of incense burning. Since long ago, incense burning has caused much conflicts and fights among neighbors that I feel that with this serious consequence in the sisters' case as a good example, the town council should take some action about it. Afterall, incense burning has caused much dislikes and inconvenience to many people, although some people kept tolerating it.

I agree with PolarKingdom comment. They should not make the entire public area dirty just because they are burning. I know that tolerant leads in a great aspect in a multi-racial society.

The incense bins are provided by the town council in the first place to tackle this issue, otherwise the incense bins are provided for no real reasons.

To youbugoffpls, I agree that respect has to be there in the heart for a multi-racical society. But are you saying that they did the right thing by burning along the corridor? And what if they use their own bins, can you give your assurance that no fire hazard will take place?

Based on your comment, I can see that your reply give much assurance to us as well as the public. Okay, Are you going to take responsibility if the fire hazard take place here and elsewhere along the corridor. If so, then I have nothing to say, if NO, then please use your brains before you comment otherwise it makes me feel that your brain is not functioning properly.

I disagree with youbugoffpls. Since the government had provided those bins for burning incense paper downstairs, the people living there should use it! Moreover burning along the corridors may lead to fire hazards. I have seen some burnt incense papers that are scattered around. As a similar religion myself, I was taught not to step on them. The corridors is already narrow enough for people to walk without stepping on them. Moreover my friend also complaint about getting her clothes dirty just because she hanged her clothes outside in the corridors
