It has been only three months since a Boon Lay Drive unit was issued a warning by the town council<\/a> for charging personal mobility devices (PMDs) along the common corridor overnight.<\/p>\n

The PMDs have since found a new parking spot \u2014 at the void deck.<\/p>\n

Stomper Huay<\/strong> shared photos taken on June 9, showing several PMDs lining a section of the ground floor at her HDB block.<\/p>\n

According to Huay, the devices belong to the same household that was previously warned in March for charging PMDs outside their unit.<\/p>\n

At that time, West Coast-Jurong West Town Council\u00a0told Stomp that it had been \u201cactively engaging\u201d the residents involved. Notices were served to the unit, with the latest warning issued on March 10.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Huay said: \u201cThey are now charging and parking their PMDs not too far away from home, only a staircase away.\u201d<\/p>\n

Town council coordinating with LTA about enforcement<\/h2>\n

In response to a Stomp query, West Coast-Jurong West Town Council\u00a0said on June 11 that it is aware of the situation and has issued advisory notices for the PMDs to be removed.<\/p>\n

The town council added that it is also coordinating with the Land Transport Authority regarding enforcement.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe take this opportunity to remind all residents that the illegal parking of PMDs in common corridors, as well as the overnight charging of PMDs<\/a> in these areas, poses serious fire safety risks,\u201d said the town council.<\/p>\n

\u201cResidents are urged to store and charge PMDs only within their own homes, in accordance with existing regulations<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said it responded to 49 fires involving active mobility devices<\/a> in 2025.<\/p>\n

Such fires remain an area of concern, added the SCDF, \u201cespecially for those that occur at residential premises due to its rapid fire spread within confined spaces\u201d.<\/p>\n
