KUANTAN: Some 495 tahfiz centres out of the 1,267 registered nationwide have been categorised as fire risks, said Housing and Local Government Minister Zuraida Kamaruddin.
These centres, she said, either had dormitories crowded with students or furniture layouts blocking exits, making it difficult for rescue operations to be carried out in the event of a fire.
“They have been given three months to make the necessary improvements before the Fire and Rescue Department conducts a second inspection. “The periodic inspection will be carried out at all tahfiz centres so that safety aspects are always complied with and to see if there is a need for any improvement to the students’ safety,” she said after a visit to the department’s state headquarters at Indera Mahkota yesterday.Citing Pahang, Zuraida said only 87 premises complied with fire-safety standards out of the 137 registered tahfiz centres inspected from last October until March this year.
