PETALING JAYA: It has been more than 10 years since the beeping of a smoke detector woke Sarah Syahirah Abdul Hamid from bed, saving her life and her three siblings as a fire raged downstairs.

“It happened a long time ago. I was jolted awake by the beeping. I opened my room door and found the second floor ceiling full of smoke!” Sarah Syahirah said when interviewed.
