Youth under probe after 2 fires in Bukit Panjang HDB block, with 3 in total reported in 2 months

Two fires occurred in a Housing Board (HDB) block in Bukit Panjang, Singapore, on July 15, involving a personal mobility aid and a bicycle cover. Both fires were extinguished, with three individuals assessed for smoke inhalation but not hospitalized. Preliminary findings suggest the fires were deliberately set, and a male youth has been identified for mischief. The area's MP, Edward Chia, noted three fire reports in the past two months, including these incidents, and expressed concern over potential foul play. Residents are worried about safety, and local authorities are increasing patrols and community vigilance efforts.
