“No one should ever lose their home. It is like an animal losing its habitat.”
Mr Christopher Pang was leaving home for supper with his friend on Monday night when he saw a bright orange glow at the second storey of a house two doors away.He told his friend to wake his two teenage sons, mother-in-law and other residents, then ran to the burning house and called on the elderly brother-sister pair inside to stop packing their valuables and unlock their gate.
The 18-year-old woke his younger brother and maternal grandmother, who was visiting from Penang, and got them out of the house safely. “I looked up and the ceiling was red,” he said, recounting how the flames had engulfed the top floor of the 2½-storey house. “Everyone is traumatised. It is something that no one should experience,” Michael said.
Other items that were lost included his wife’s watches and gold jewellery, diamond necklaces and a diamond ring passed down from her mother, a few thousand dollars in United States currency, a leather sofa and paintings. He estimates the loss to be about $200,000. “I have a lot of assignments coming soon, but my laptop and hard drive are not working. It is very worrying,” Michael said.
