| wish to put on record and congratulate your team for a job well done!

On 26 July 2022 at about 1am there was a small fire in our CPI Lab and the fire alarm was activated. At once, the duty technician, Suresh identified the fire scene and sprang into action. He used a nearby fire extinguisher to kill the incipient fire. Investigation revealed that the ignition of fire was due to a series of overheated switches at the entrance to the laboratory.

Suresh notified the Senior Facilities Manager (SFM), Wong Yew Suen after putting off the fire. The burnt switches caused the entire lab to be clouded with black smoke. SFM Wong activated his fellow colleagues Lionel Tan, Thein Soe, Amin and Soe Doh to return to the site immediately to recover the power supply to the CPI Lab. The team worked tirelessly from 1 am to 9 am on 27 July 2022 with the aim to restore the power supply in the Lab as soon as possible. By 8 am, 90% of the lightings was back to normal operation and the remaining 10% was supported by temporary lightings so that the Lab Staff could carry on their daily routine without any disruptions.

Your dedicated team are valuable partners to HSA. A big thank you to your team for their good work! It would not be possible to achieve the goal without each one’s commitment and competency.
