KUANTAN: The Malaysian Institute of Architects (PAM) has emphasised the need to upgrade fire and safety measures for all heritage buildings after the recent Sungai Lembing fire.

The institute said this was particularly important for timber buildings that were constructed in terraced form or in very close proximity, which put it at risk of fire spreading rapidly.
