INTERACTIVE: The fire hazard that is the Malaysian home


Awareness about fire safety at home needs to be improved in Malaysia, especially with the low percentage of households that have a fire extinguisher.

PETALING JAYA: Malaysians are not too fired up about fire safety at home, according to the data – over 90% of households in the country don't have a fire extinguisher.

Only 8.9% of homes nationwide are equipped with the safety device, which is often the first line of defence against a fire.
