Haha. Maybe it's because it isn't blessed by the leading religious leaders in Singapore. Unlike our F1 track.
Jokes aside, thanks to Kit for sharing. I always had my suspicions.

Not just the inspections, but also to do the work. Pay local people so that they can make a living from it and the jobs will be taken. But uh.. yeah.. that would increase the costs a bit, might lower the profit.. sacrilege!
But hanky panky is always after office hour :bsmilie:
Unless you are doing it with the boss :bsmilie:
I think JEM is SG's biggest nightmare - from fire permits to fire incidence.
Now the roof collapse from leaky water pipes
wonder JEM open already? Or still closing... how will the settlements be to tenants?
Saw in newspaper some tenants ready to leave............

They should install a bed with a good mattress in the office instead of doing it on the floor. :bsmilie:

I think the construction work was done by local construction companies and even inspections. They need a TOL from BCA to operate. Am sure
our BCA have gone thru the process before issueing the TOL.BCA won't allow shoddy work and is very stringent since the Hotel New World
collapse in 1986.
A building is deemed fit to be occupied with a Temporary Occupation Permit (TOP). This is issued by BCA and is valid for 1 year. Temporary Occupation License (TOL) is issued by SLA. TOL is for rental of state land.
Just found out that the entire office tower of Jem is on a 30 year lease to MND and will house offices of BCA and AVA. Ironic isn't it?

No one can escape from JEM fate.
JEM spirits will still befall another building you go to if it wants to get you. :sweat:
You are right! Many owners engaged foreign architect just for the design and the locate architect for submission. These 'fantastic' buildings become a liability since nobody is responsible for the detailing. Builder built according to instruction and owner's project team only interested to complete on time. To maintain become a nightmare.
Have you seen a commercial building here designed like a hotel with proper service corridors and maintenance office? Most likely those old government buildings you may find some.
That's wasted retail space, similar to areas in MRT stations which are either unused or wasted for maintenance equipment

They call that designer retail
With the bad press and BCA being one of its tenant in future, JEM could well be the safest building around after it re-opens.
