    Electric Scooter Charged Overnight Caught Fire, SCDF Activated

    An electric scooter reportedly left to charge overnight in a Housing Board flat in Chua Chu Kang sparked a fire, with three people fleeing the unit.

    The fire broke out at 3.50am on Friday (July 28) at a 10th-floor unit in Block 230, Choa Chu Kang Central 1, the Singapore Civil Defence Force told The Straits Times.

    A woman who lives in the flat, who declined to be named, told Shin Min Daily News in a report on Friday that she was sleeping when she heard a loud explosion.

    It was followed by a burnt smell, coming from a room. She went to check and saw that the battery charger of the e-scooter inside was on fire.

    ST understands that SCDF officers had to conduct forcible entry into the unit, and that the fire was started by a portable battery charger attached to the e-scooter.

    No one was injured.

    Man Rides Electric Skate Scooter Through McDonald’s Drive-Thru While Smoking, Almost Langgar Car In Front

    Stomper Gerald saw a man endangering himself by riding a scooter at the McDonald’s Drive-Thru at Kallang Leisure Park on Feb 8.

    The man also happened to be smoking and had nearly banged into a car in front of him.

    Gerald, who wondered why the man couldn’t simply get off his scooter and order food from the McDonald’s counter indoors instead, said:

    “Saw this guy with a scooter at the Macs drive-thru at Kallang Lesiure Park three days ago.

    “He was smoking and almost knocked into the car in front..

    “I was wondering why he couldn’t have just gotten off his scooter and order food inside. Even motorcyclists don’t go through the Drive-Thru.”
