There have been more than 50 PMD related fires in just the first half of 2019. What’s causing them to burst into flames and could a modified e-scooter be a ticking time-bomb?

In the first half of this year, there were 49 fires related to PMDs, an average of about two a week.

In the worst of these cases, a 40-year-old man died in hospital after being rescued from his burning flat in Bukit Batok. The blaze was linked to three e-scooters found burnt in the unit.
