Fire Dept finds nine tiny rooms squeezed into office and turned into student dormitory in Terengganu

The Terengganu Fire and Rescue Department (JBPM) has discovered nine small rooms converted into student dormitories within an office premises during the Ops Sepadu Premis Sarang Burung operation in Kuala Terengganu. These tiny rooms were found on the second floor of a building that was originally approved as an office building but had been illegally repurposed for dormitory use.

In addition to the dormitories, the inspections revealed that the premises were non-compliant with several building safety regulations. The operation, which was carried out at four locations, aimed to identify illegally modified shop premises or office spaces that pose fire hazards. The JBPM will issue a notice to the owners or tenants of the affected premises to address the identified fire hazards, and a second inspection will be conducted if compliance is not achieved within the given period.
