On 3rd april 2015, Friday a fire broke out at the apartment in Geylang Lorong 6, killing the two Bangladeshi workers, Mr Mamun Abdullah, 22, and Mr Hosen Ali, 20. Three other men were injured.

More than 30 workers were living in the second-floor apartment before the fire.

The Singaporean landlords, who wanted to be known only as Mr and Mrs Bala, said arrangements have been made to clear the water by today. They are working on insurance claims and cooperating with the authorities on investigations, Mrs Bala said.
