Potential Death Trap in Tangs!!!!

Tangs is under renovation.  The stairwells and escalators in the basement are all sealed off.     The only way to get out from inside Tangs is through the elevators.  Huge crowds were queuing to get through.  It is impossible.  I wonder why the Fire Department did not go to Tangs and stopped them from doing business.  The renovation works sealed off all access at the same time.  It is very dangerous!

Hordes of Philipinos were queuing up to get through the escalators probably to go to Lucky Plaza.  The staircase that says lead to other levels did not work either.  The crowd was huge and situation was getting out of control.   So we get out of the mall as quickly as we can. 

As well run and efficient Singapore is, the potential dangerous situation like this can develop.  I have no idea what the management in Tangs is thinking.  Are they trying to save costs while doing the renovations?  Why are the store still open while access in is easy through the underpass and getting out of the building is impossible?  Do Tangs need a repeat of the Robinson fire 40 years ago to in order to learn the lesson again?

I am very disappointed with Tangs for compromising the safety of her customers and public by its action.  I do hope the authorities will find out and do something to correct the situation.
