The Housing Ministry has assured the public that the fire that broke out at the Green House building earlier today will not disrupt the ongoing flat allocation process.

The fire that engulfed the building housing the Housing, Construction, and Environment Ministries has not yet been fully extinguished. However, the Housing Ministry stated that no staff members were injured in the incident.

The Ministry also emphasized that all documents related to the flat allocation process are safe, as they are digitally stored on a secure cloud-hosted system. This measure ensures the integrity of the records, preventing any loss or impact on the process.

Authorities are currently consulting with relevant agencies to review and enhance safety measures in light of the incident.

The government had previously announced several dates for the release of the flat allocation list under the prior administration’s housing scheme. However, the publication of the list was postponed indefinitely on November 16 for further review.

The Ministry’s reassurance comes as residents eagerly await updates on the housing scheme while safety measures at government facilities are closely scrutinized.
