Private education institution PSB Academy is planning to launch three new campuses, subject to statutory approvals, around Singapore.

Located at Tai Seng Street and SingPost Centre and sporting a combined space of more than 220,000 square feet, the three new campuses will increase PSB Academy’s space by approximately 60 per cent.

Unlike a traditional private education institution that is limited to a single location, these new campuses will form a learning ecosystem network to complement PSB Academy’s existing campus at The Cathay, thereby reflecting a shift to learning environments that are focused on practical learning and driving industry growth.

The existing campus at The Cathay currently spans over 40,000 square feet across two levels.

Here’s what prospective students can expect from the new campuses.

Integrated STEAM Hub @ Tai Seng

The Integrated STEAM Hub will comprise two campuses: the Health and Life Sciences Campus at 29 Tai Seng Street, which will also act as PSB Academy’s new headquarters, and the Engineering, Technology and Communication Campus at 16 Tai Seng Street.

It will house advanced laboratories and industry-grade equipment, including a cyber range laboratory for cyber security simulation training, a nursing practicum laboratory and a dedicated space to test and fly drones.

Other facilities include laboratories for robotics, engineering, life and sports sciences.

The Health and Life Sciences Campus will span five levels, while the Engineering, Technology and Communication Campus will be spread across two levels.

The Integrated STEAM Hub will also house PSB Academy’s new School of Design and Communication, equipped with professional media production facilities and design tools where students can get hands-on practice to complement what they learn in class.

School of Business and Management

Meanwhile, SingPost Centre will house the School of Business and Management and School of Foundation Studies, spanning across three levels, and providing a dedicated environment for Business and Management students within the Paya Lebar commercial district.

Growing demand for STEAM courses

According to PSB Academy, the expansion to its campus comes amidst growing demand for the institution’s Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics (STEAM) disciplines, alongside its core Business and Management courses.

Enrolment in STEAM courses has grown by 20 per cent year-on-year over the past three years.

The expansion to a specialised network of campuses is therefore aimed at supporting the changing needs of students and employers, while preparing for future growth through increased campus space and greater capacity.

The Chief Executive Officer of PSB Academy, Derrick Chang, said:

“This marks an important milestone for PSB Academy as we continue to evolve to meet the

changing needs of our students.

In bringing together specialised campuses for different disciplines, we’re creating spaces where learning feels more relevant, more immersive and more connected to the careers our students are working towards.

At the same time, these campuses will allow us to work closely with our partners to keep our courses current and ensure our students are well prepared for what’s next.”

According to Vietnamese media, a 25-year-old pregnant woman began experiencing abdominal pain on Aug. 3 before immediately heading to the hospital with her husband on a motorcycle.

She was reportedly in her 32nd week, or about eight months into her pregnancy, VnExpress reported.

In videos circulating online, the 25-year-old was seen getting off the motorcycle with her baby still visibly attached to the umbilical cord.

The video

In the video, the barefoot pregnant woman was carefully lifted off the motorcycle.

Fluids could be seen on the motorcycle seat, while the umbilical cord remained attached to the mother's body.

The medical team quickly attended to the mother and baby, warming the newborn and cutting the umbilical cord.

The mum and baby were then sent into the delivery room for further care.

The baby boy weighed about 2kg at birth, VnExpress reported.

Fortunately, both mum and baby are reportedly healthy.

An Australia aircraft engineer, who was dismissed after he caused a 17-minute flight delay to a Singapore Airlines (SIA) flight, has failed to win back his job after bringing the matter to the regulators.

He was nevertheless granted AU$40,000 (S$36,000) in compensation.

The man, a resident of Brisbane, was an aircraft maintenance worker who had over 25 years of experience in the industry.

He had powered down the plane in a bid to resolve safety errors, The Sydney Morning Herald reported.

Following the incident, the Singapore carrier withdrew his maintenance authority permit, citing "mishandling incidents".

The incident

The man was an employee of Heston MRO, a company that provides maintenance services to various international airlines, including SIA.

In the case of the flight delay, he had seen multiple "fault diagnostic messages" pop up ahead of an SIA flight.

He thus decided to reboot the aircraft, the Herald reported.

His actions did end up clearing those faults, but led to a 17-minute delay in take-off.

SIA subsequently sent a notice to his employer withdrawing his permit, arguing that it was unnecessary to power down the plane for this particular fault.

The carrier alleged that the man had acted on "experience and instinct" instead of protocol, causing "customer dissatisfaction" through the delay.

The engineer defended his actions, saying it was "normal procedure" and helped to reduce the pilots' workload, prevent further delays, and make for a safer flight.

He likened it to resetting a phone to clear errors, according to the Herald.

Report rejected and revised

After the complaint, Heston launched an investigation into the incident.

Its initial report found that the man's actions were "standard practice" and did not violate procedures.

But SIA rejected Heston's report and argued that the investigation was "not an objective one".

Following this, the company conducted a review of the initial report, led by a newly hired head of quality and safety.

In the second report, Heston found that the man's actions had been a "reckless violation".

He was subsequently dismissed.

The man, who had been employed at the company for over two years by then, was purportedly not told about the revised findings before he was let go in December 2025.

Also worked for competitors

Australia's Fair Work Commission, the national workplace relations tribunal, held a hearing into the engineer's dismissal.

At the hearing, Heston's CEO Asta Zirlyte acknowledged that the company's commercial operations would be affected if it lost its work with SIA.

Still, she rejected the suggestion that the company revised the initial report to maintain its relationship with the airline, according to the Herald.

While he was employed at Heston, the man was involved in four investigations, but was ultimately cleared of wrongdoing each time without formal disciplinary action.

A major argument Heston brought up was that the man had been working casual shifts for Virgin Airlines, a competitor, without permission.

This, the company said, breached its rules and compliance requirements to monitor its staff fatigue levels.

The man claimed these shifts never clashed with his full-time job, and that he always took a break of at least 10 hours before and after each shift.

The commission's conclusion

At the end of the hearing, Australia's Fair Work commissioner said he did not find that Heston's decision to dismiss the engineer was because of pressure from SIA.

"However, the evidence is clear that Singapore Airlines was displeased with [the initial] report," he added.

"It was following communication of this to [Heston MRO] that the review of the report produced a different result... not supported by the evidence in this hearing."

Regarding the man's moonlighting, he said Heston could have considered taking disciplinary action, but the shifts with Virgin Airlines were not a valid reason for dismissal.

At the same time, he noted that it constituted a breach of contract, and had caused "damage to the level of trust and confidence in the [employment] relationship".

The commission thus did not order Heston to reinstate the man, but ordered it to pay him more than AU$40,000 (S$36,000) in compensation.

Heston was "deeply disappointed and surprised" by the decision, and said it intended to lodge an appeal, according to the Herald.

The firm added: "The aviation sector depends on rigorous standards to protect passengers, crew, employees, and the broader community."

Less than an hour after returning home from her night shift at the hospital, a nurse in Malaysia suddenly collapsed and passed away.

Vanessa Ewot, a 37-year-old mother of two, got home from Sarawak General Hospital at around 7:47am on Aug. 2.

Her husband Cyril told The Borneo Post he knew the time by checking the CCTV footage at home.

As she usually did each morning, Ewot greeted him with a hug and kiss, then went to check in on their two young children, aged eight and 13, in their bedrooms.

She had brought home some chicken wings to cook breakfast for the children. While she went into the kitchen, Cyril drifted back to sleep.

The next time he woke up, it was about 9:10am, and Ewot was lying on the floor.

A commotion

"At first I thought she was sleeping," an emotional Cyril told The Borneo Post. "I wanted to carry her, but when I touched her, her hands were cold and she looked bluish."

He yelled for his children, and the commotion drew the neighbours' attention. He shouted that his wife had fainted, and asked someone to call the ambulance.

While waiting for help to arrive, he performed CPR on Ewot, then rushed to the hospital with his children.

He believes that Ewot was preparing to cook when she suddenly collapsed.

"The chicken wings were still beside the stove," Cyril recalled. "The stove wasn’t switched on yet. It looked like she was about to start cooking."

'She looked completely normal'

According to Cyril, Ewot had stayed at home with her family all day on Aug. 1 to get enough rest before going to work at around 8pm that evening.

"She looked completely normal," he said.

She had also asked Cyril if they could go to church as a family at 11am after work the next day, saying that they had not been for some time.

Ewot reportedly had no history of health problems such as asthma, heart disease, or high blood pressure.

Cyril said he wants to know what happened, but he will have to wait two to three months for the post-mortem results.

Tributes

Many of Ewot's fellow nurses and friends attended her wake to pay their respects.

The story of her sudden death has also circulated on social media.

Public Health Malaysia and the Sarawak State Health Department posted separately on Facebook, offering their condolences to Ewot's family.

Commenters also offered condolences, while some speculated that Ewot might have experienced fatigue from work, and expressed concern for the welfare of doctors and nurses who work long shifts.

Thinking that cardboard shelters meant for cats placed at his block's void deck would draw birds and pests, a Singaporean retiree decided to set them on fire.

Koh Teng Boo, 68, pleaded guilty to one count of committing mischief by fire on Aug. 4.

He was sentenced to three months' jail.

Background

According to court documents seen by Mothership, Koh first noticed the cardboard structures put up at around the pavilion beside Block 261 and the void deck of Block 263 Bukit Batok East Avenue 4 on September 2025.

The houses were stocked with food and water by volunteers and were meant to provide food and shelter to stray cats.

However, Koh noticed that birds were drawn to the cat houses.

He claimed that the houses were also prone to attracting pests and provided feedback to his Member of Parliament.

Sometime in October 2025, Koh picked up three cat houses before throwing them into an incense burner bin and setting them on fire.

He claimed he had done so as nothing had been done about the issue despite his complaints.

Two days later, Koh noticed there were more cat houses set up around his block.

He raised the concerns again to his MP on Nov. 17, 2025, stressing that he did not have an issue with cats but was concerned about the hygiene of such a practice.

He also claimed that residents had been throwing litter into the cat houses.

Burnt houses after drinking

On Nov. 19, 2025 at about 1:28am, Koh was on his way home after drinking when he saw a cat house at the void deck of Block 263 Bukit Batok East Avenue 4.

He took out a lighter and set fire to it, then walked away and left the fire unattended.

It is not revealed how the fire was eventually put out.

On Nov. 20, 2025 at about 5:31am, Koh went to the pavilion beside Block 261 Bukit Batok East Avenue 4 with the intention of setting fire to more cat houses.

He was angered that nothing had been done about the issue despite his complaints.

Koh set fire to one cat house with a lighter, and again walked away, leaving the fire unattended.

A few minutes later, two passers-by spotted the fire and put it out.

An informant was later alerted to the burning of the cat houses and made a police report on Nov. 20.

Koh was identified using CCTV footage and arrested on the same day.

Court documents indicated Koh was aware that he was likely to cause damage to the flooring and wall in the immediate vicinity through his actions.

Lim Tean, a 61-year-old Singaporean lawyer and politician, failed to surrender to court to start his jail term on Aug. 3, 2026 and an arrest warrant has been issued.

Both Lim's lawyer and bailor could not reach Lim, it was reported.

In response to Mothership's queries, a Singapore Courts spokesperson provided a statement to chronicle the sequence of events leading to a warrant to arrest being issued.

• On Jul. 6, 2026, Lim's criminal motion was summarily dismissed, and he was directed to surrender on Jul. 20 at 12pm at the State Courts 4A to commence his sentence of imprisonment.
• On Jul. 17, the Court of Appeal approved the accused’s request for a deferment of sentence, and directed the accused to surrender on Aug. 3, at 12pm, at State Courts 4A to commence his sentence of imprisonment.
• The accused did not surrender at State Courts 4A on Aug. 3 at 12 pm.
• A warrant to arrest was subsequently issued on Aug. 3.
• A further mention was fixed on Aug. 17 at 3pm for post-warrant to arrest review and the surety to show cause why the bail sum should not be forfeited.
• The accused was represented by counsel at the State Courts at a case conference on Aug. 4 at 10am, as the accused faces other pending charges.
• The case conference was adjourned to Aug. 17 at 3pm for post-warrant to arrest review.

Acting Minister of Manpower and Senior Minister of State for the Ministry of Digital Development and Information, Jasmin Lau, shared more on Aug. 4 on GovTech's Workforce Transformation Plan, and how the government will support its officers through this change.

In July 2026, Government Technology Agency of Singapore (GovTech) announced that it would be retrenching 93 staff in a shift towards a new operating model to deliver “faster, more secure, and more responsive digital services” for all Singaporeans.

The retrenchments would be the first of three phases, and such a "significant restructuring" was only undertaken when needed and in response to "fundamental changes” in an agency’s operating environment or model.

A Public Service Division spokesperson at the time said that the top priority in restructuring exercises was to reskill and redeploy workers either elsewhere in the agency or the public service.

Expansion and retrenchment

Lau said that the retrenchments would be implemented progressively over two years to give officers time to adjust, and that GovTech would incorporate lessons learned from each phase.

The transformation was a necessary part of the changing nature of GovTech's work, from one-off projects to a "continuous product ownership model".

"GovTech's workforce will grow because of this shift, but its composition will also need to change."

As such, GovTech is hiring more software engineers, product managers, designers, data specialists, cybersecurity experts, and platform engineers. However, over time, it would need fewer officers doing traditional project and vendor management as it operates more projects in-house.

While GovTech anticipated these changes and attempted to reshape its workforce, this was " not enough to meet our needs", Lau said.

"Therefore, GovTech has also invested heavily in pilots and apprenticeships to retrain existing staff for new roles or to redeploy them. But there are limits to its pace and scale."

Lau added that as many officers as possible will be retrained and redeployed, " but we cannot avoid having to transition out some officers".

First phase details

Lau shared additional details about those affected in the first phase of the three-phase process.

In the first phase, 305 GovTech officers were affected, of which 102 had been retained or redeployed, 110 were being supported through structured job conversion and apprenticeship pathways, and 93 had been retrenched.

In deciding whether to retain, retrain, or retrench officers, GovTech assessed which were the necessary job roles, followed by individual officers based on their competencies, domain expertise, and job fit for the required roles.

She shared that of the 93 exiting officers, 42 per cent were between the ages of 40 and 49.

This age group also made up 42 per cent of the total 305 affected officers.

"This age group is therefore not overrepresented among the exiting officers," Lau noted.

There was also no significant difference in tenure between exiting officers and those on retraining pathways.

With regards to seniority, Lau said that of the affected officers, two-thirds were individual contributors, and a third of them were team leaders.

Transition plans

Affected officers were informed about transition plans as early as possible in order to help them evaluate possible redeployment opportunities.

Where there was a suitable pathway, retraining and redeployment was considered before external recruitment, Lau said.

Apprenticeship pathways provide a full-salary, structured training on-the-job learning in order to help officers develop capabilities required under GovTech's future operating model.

GovTech worked with the Public Service Division, the Skills and Workforce Development Agency, as well as NTUC's E2I, to facilitate job matching and referrals in both the public and private sectors for officers without a suitable role.

Over 300 job opportunities were identified for affected officers, and those interested in those options are currently in the application or interview stage, Lau revealed.

These officers also received financial and transition support, as well as career guidance and active job placement assistance.

GovTech will take the same approach in subsequent phases.

Outcomes

Lau said that the outcomes of the transformation would be assessed across three areas:

1. Whether officers had been supported through meaningful transition pathways, such as retraining, conversion, and redeployment,
2. Whether GovTech has strengthened the capabilities required for its future operating model, and
3. Whether GovTech successfully delivers more security, which means ensuring reliable and secure digital services for government agencies and citizens.

Lessons learnt

In response to a supplementary question from labour MP Patrick Tay on what lessons have been taken away from this phase of the retrenchments, Lau replied:

"First, on how officers experience the transition itself, we have found that officers who have to spend an extended period on a pathway towards exit, even with the support in place, this creates prolonged uncertainty and anxiety both for them and also for the teams that they are in."

Moving forward, she said that GovTech aims to shorten this pathway where possible, so officers "reach clarity on their next steps more quickly, rather than remaining in a state of limbo for longer than necessary".

Lau continued that another lesson was on the messaging behind the retrenchments.

"Some of the messaging around this restructuring may have given the impression that GovTech intends to move all work in-house and not use vendors anymore. That is not the case," Lau said.

She explained that vendors continue to play a key role in complementing in-house teams, and this transformation involves GovTech taking greater ownership of their products and platforms instead.

"We will be clearer on this distinction in how we communicate future phases, so that our partners and the industry understand exactly what is and what is not changing."

A 38-year-old Singaporean man was sentenced to 21 years' jail and 16 strokes of the cane on Aug. 3 after getting into a sexual relationship with his 13-year-old niece and sexually exploiting her.

He faced a total of 23 charges.

According to a report by CNA, the man pleaded guilty to six charges, including statutory rape and sexual assault, while the remaining 17 were taken into consideration during sentencing.

The man cannot be named due to a gag order protecting the victim's identity.

Grew closer after the girl's 13th birthday

Court documents seen by Mothership revealed that the man shared a close relationship with his brother, who is the victim's father.

At the time of the offences, he was in a relationship with a woman whom he later married in May 2024.

However, the pair were not living together.

He had been living with his grandmother until her death, after which he moved into his own home.

Before the victim turned 13, she only interacted with her uncle during family gatherings and special occasions.

In September 2022, he took her out to celebrate her 13th birthday and gave her a ride on his motorcycle.

The girl said she enjoyed it and wanted to do it again, so he took her out for supper several days later.

While they were out, the girl saw her ex-boyfriend.

She then told her uncle that when they were together, he had touched her sexually and that she did not take issue with it.

After this, the pair grew closer and the girl began visiting her uncle after school.

On one occasion, he molested her and asked if that was what her ex-boyfriend had done.

Though she was shocked, the girl did not react or resist.

According to court documents, the pair subsequently regarded themselves as being in a romantic relationship from Oct. 13, 2022.

They exchanged romantic messages daily, kissed, and engaged in sex acts.

During a family trip to Genting Highlands, Malaysia, around November 2022, the man molested the girl while they were alone in his room.

Had sex about four times a week

In that same month, the victim obtained her parent's permission to stay overnight at her uncle's place.

By then, the man was living alone after his grandmother's death.

He had bought soju, which he and the girl drank together that night.

They then engaged in sexual acts.

The man initially attempted to have sexual intercourse with the girl, but could not.

He subsequently did it the following morning.

After this, the pair had sex about four times a week at his home.

The man also used sex toys and bondage equipment, including a blindfold, feather and rope, on the girl.

He also went out to eat and shop with the victim, but avoided behaving intimately when other family members were present.

In 2023, the victim's parents allowed her to go on a staycation with the man.

He brought alcohol and sex toys along, and the pair had sex at a hotel.

They continued seeing each other in 2024, with the teenager visiting him after school.

During this period, he joked about committing incest with her.

Girl started dating a schoolmate

In January 2024, the victim got to know a schoolmate identified in court documents only as "A1".

The pair grew closer and entered a romantic relationship, and the girl gradually reduced her visits to her uncle.

The man noticed the change in her behaviour and found out about A1.

Dismayed, he urged the victim to end the relationship with the boy.

Despite this, he continued engaging in sexual activity with her.

In May 2024, when the victim was 14, he engaged in sexual acts with the victim as punishment for interacting with A1.

He told her she had made a mistake and needed to repay him. If she refused, she would have to break up with A1.

Not wanting to end her relationship with A1, the girl complied with her uncle's demands.

According to court documents, the abuse continued even though the victim experienced pain during sex.

In June 2024, the pair went on another hotel staycation, where they engaged in sexual intercourse.

Threatened to leak nude photos and videos

In August 2024, the man went through the victim's phone while she was asleep and discovered a TikTok account that she had only shared with A1.

Enraged, he scolded her for not putting as much effort into their relationship.

He then told her he would pretend he had not seen the account if she agreed to engage in sexual acts with him.

While driving her home later that day, he told her to break up with A1, causing her to cry.

He diverted to a shopping mall in an attempt to calm her down, but shouted at her out of frustration.

He also told her that he did not want her and A1 to end up studying at the same polytechnic and said he would continue controlling her life even while she was in university.

The victim later left the vehicle and went to a nearby toilet, where she cried.

The man continued messaging her, saying she appeared to love A1 more than him.

In early August 2024, after the victim told him she would not break up with A1, he threatened to leak nude photographs and videos that he had taken of her without her consent.

On at least five occasions, he threatened to upload them to a pornographic website, send them to her friends or circulate them on Telegram.

He also claimed he was prepared to go to jail if necessary, although he ultimately did not distribute the material.

The victim eventually agreed to cut contact with A1 in an attempt to placate her uncle.

He initially demanded that she publicly announce the breakup on social media, but later dropped it.

When she told A1 what had happened, he described her uncle's behaviour as "out of line".

Court documents showed that the victim tried to end the relationship with her uncle at least eight times.

Each time, however, he guilt-tripped her into staying, telling her that he was depressed and wanted to end his life.

Informed her teacher

On Aug. 6, 2024, exhausted by her uncle's manipulative behaviour towards her, the victim told a teacher that she had been in an intimate relationship with him.

The matter was referred to the Child Protection Services under the Ministry of Social and Family Development, which subsequently lodged a police report.

On the same day the victim reported the matter to her teacher, the man went to the victim's school to wait for her.

When he saw her being escorted into a vehicle at about 6pm, he realised that their inappropriate relationship had likely been discovered.

He was arrested the following day.

Prosecution: Man robbed his niece of her innocence

The prosecution sought 19-and-a-half to 21 years' jail and at least 16 strokes of the cane for the man.

They said the man had "kept up a façade of being nothing but a caring uncle", while blatantly and repeatedly violating her parents' trust:

"Capitalising on his easy access to her, he robbed her of her innocence by taking her virginity when she was 13 years old and habituated her to all kinds of illicit sexual activity with him."

The prosecution added that the man had no excuse for his "sordid" conduct, and that his actions should be met with the full force of the law.

According to CNA, the defence sought 16 years' jail and 16 strokes of the cane instead.

The defence counsel said his client had admitted to all the offences, apologised to the victim's parents and personally apologised to his brother.

He added that his client's sister-in-law had initially been unwilling to meet him at the time, but eventually did so.

The defence further argued that a significant mitigating factor was that his client's guilty plea spared the victim from having to testify in court and relive her trauma.

The judge asked whether that consideration had already been reflected in the usual sentencing discount of up to 30 per cent for an early guilty plea, and the defence counsel agreed that it had.

The judge did not give any additional weight to the man's remorse.

For each charge of statutory rape, the man could have been jailed for up to 20 years and fined or caned.

A woman was trying to redeem her June 2026 Community Development Council (CDC) vouchers online when she realised they had already been claimed — allegedly by the previous homeowner of her house.

Feeling shocked, she went to her nearby community centre to get clarification, and the staff said the vouchers were claimed by someone with the same name as the previous homeowner, she told Zaobao.

This was the first time it happened, as she had been able to redeem her CDC vouchers in the past few years.

She submitted a complaint to the community centre and made a police report.

In response to Mothership's queries, the police confirmed that investigations are ongoing.

Debt collection letters

The woman, a 54-year-old accountant surnamed Huang (transliteration), shared with Zaobao that she had bought her current four-room flat in Punggol in 2021.

It was a man who signed the resale contract, and his wife and daughter were living in the house at the time.

Before she moved in, Huang had renovation works done in the house.

When she visited the unit before the works began, she saw that there was an additional lock on the front door, and felt that something was not right.

She later noticed there was a debt collection notice pasted on the wall outside her unit, with her new address written on it.

She said she reported it to the police immediately, then put a note on her front door to say she was the new homeowner, requesting debt collectors not to come to the house again.

This did not work, as she continued to receive letters of demand from licensed moneylending companies, Huang claimed.

Did he update his address?

To better understand the situation, she opened and read the letters, and discovered that the previous male homeowner had borrowed money.

"Many of the loans were even made after the unit was sold, which suggests that the previous male homeowner did not even update his address," Huang told Zaobao.

She claimed that she contacted the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA), who informed her later that the man had updated his address.

Regarding the redemption of Huang's CDC vouchers, ICA told Zaobao they could not provide further information as the police investigation is ongoing.

ICA also highlighted that, according to the National Registration Act, people who have moved are required to report a change of their residential address within 28 days.

Huang has apparently managed to claim her CDC vouchers, Zaobao reported.

Still, she expressed concern that her address might continue to be misused and that she might face more trouble.

A fire broke out at a flat at Block 684 Race Course Road on Aug. 3 evening.

In a Facebook post, the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said it was alerted to the incident at about 7:10pm.

Upon SCDF's arrival, a fifth-floor bedroom unit was on fire.

The fire was extinguished with a water jet.

Five persons were found trapped in the unit.

One person was rescued by the police.

The other four persons were rescued by SCDF.

Out of the five persons rescued, three were unconscious.

SCDF said three persons were conveyed to Singapore General Hospital and two persons were conveyed to Tan Tock Seng Hospital.

Investigations into the cause of the fire are ongoing.
