Bomba says 30% of buildings inspected nationwide do not have fire certs

GEORGE TOWN: Some 30% of 8,300 public and commercial buildings inspected by the Fire and Rescue Department nationwide do not have fire certificates as required by law.

Its director-general Datuk Seri Mohammad Hamdan Wahid said this could be because some of these premises had not yet been approved, were in the process of compliance or had failed to meet requirements under the Fire Services Act 1988.
