A man was surprised to see offerings burned outside a unit during the 7th month. He said that it could be a fire hazard.

The burning of incense paper is prohibited in HDB common hallways due to the risk of fire. Incense papers should only be burned in incense burners or metal containers issued by the Town Council, according to the Singapore Civil Defence Force’s (SCDF) public fire safety standards.

In his post he said:

“No offence. Is this right? 7th mth offerings in front of door step & ashes blowing into your neighbours’ houses? What if the whole unit catches fire?”

A new national programme was launched on 13 August, in a bid to get more senior citizens to go for their vaccination shots.

Called the “let’s get our seniors vaccinated” programme, persons who successfully refer a senior above the age of 60 to get their shots will received a $30 voucher from Health Promotion Board.

It will then be credited via the HPB’s Healthy 365 app into their accounts.

The authorities will need to verify that the senior has received both doses of the vaccines (Pfizer, Comirnaty or Moderna) before awarding the vouchers.

The programme ends on 30 November.
