Meanwhile, MCA Youth chief Ling Tian Soon said the premises served as a community activity centre, hosting programmes such as dance classes and karaoke at least four times a week.

“I received a call at about 8.30 pm informing me of the fire, which also destroyed a public address (PA) system and newly installed air-conditioning units,” he told Bernama when contacted.

However, he said the cause of the fire and the extent of losses have yet to be determined. — Bernama
