Serious Stupid Old Fart Damaged New Chair At Teck Ghee Square Hawker Center! Town Council Investigating!

[laksaboy]

All the 'upgraded' chairs and tables at hawker centres look very flimsy.

Which crony contractor received the contracts to 'upgrade' hawker centres from the NEA?



Similarly, which crony contractor received the contracts to do HDB lift upgrading, installing Sigma lifts which were notorious for being unsafe?

Is there a Singapore edition of the Mad Magazine game? I found the new mascot for it.

Imagine this incident happened in an area under opposition, there will be huge publicity given to it by the ST and even bigger fireworks in Parliament.
World highest paid ministers cannot even ensure a NEW chair is properly fixed-do they deserve such sky high salaries for such incompetence !

agree. your screws would have helped secure the seat to the leg. the glue is secondary and should not be the primary (and only) securing mechanism.

What for? Another 6 months will upgrade the hawker center again. Wun so easy spoil one lah, must be clumsy old man anyhow bump into the seat. Fine him, warn other lao hero not to put their leg on the seat.

1. It was very obvious there are 4 holes on the metal plate

2. It is also very obvious there are no screws as its not possible for all 4 screws to be missing from this accident scene

3. Even if there are screws a few screws should still be on the metal plate with torn wood from the seat, so there are no screws

4. Maxbond or its solvent based adhesives are the most popular construction adhesive being use today (Maxbond is a trade name belongs to HB Fuller company).

5. When you renovate your home you will notice especially the carpenter using it so very often as if everything can be stick with Maxbond.

6. Another thing you notice about Maxbond is its smell some people can get migraine from this smell. When you move into your new home it stinks from Maxbond smell if it had been used excessively. The smell comes from solvents. (by the way Maxbond is highly flammable and considered a dangerous product in transport)

7. Most of this type of Maxbond glue has more than 10% of solvent. When the glue cures the solvent will disappear (evaporated) this presents 2 problems

a. the original volume will be reduced by at least 10% with the loss of solvent and this loss of volume is seen as shrinkage reducing surface contact as well during the curing stage causing loss of adhesive strength.

b. solvents evaporated in the form of volatile organic compound (VOC) and it stays in the immediate environment, VOC is not healthy and most are carcinogenic. The bad smell is VOC that you are breathing into your body.

8. For a seat where people sit (apply pressure) and get out of the seat (reduce pressure) is considered dynamic load, Maxbond alone is not capable of handling dynamic loads.

For your daily use of construction adhesives please choose hybrid adhesives which is usually low VOC products that qualifies Green Building requirement of less than 4% VOC. Most of these hybrid adhesives also don't smell as it does not contain solvents consequently its almost 100% solid (compare with less than 90% solid from Maxbond type of products) making the hybrid adhesive non-shrink giving stronger adhesion. Also most of these hybrid adhesives have some flexibility to allow some dynamic loads.

This is Maxbond I believe most of you have seen it before

It is pretty obvious that the design is pretty robust and under normal use would last a lifetime.

This old fart must have applied all his weight on one corner or perhaps he stood on the chair and started jumping up and down like an ape.

hanor, this ol'fart jumped for joy when he saw his idol giving a speech at the shang dialog - not knowing that the chair couldn't take the excitement and weight. a visit by his mp with a hamper and photo op is on the cards

OMG What a comprehensive investigation report! Lol

My point spending time to write so much is not about the accident rather to inform all you reading this about the dangers of solvent based adhesives used in your living space. There are safer and better alternatives to it.

 

[Kuailan]

If this happened at Oppie wards this running Dog John will come here KPKB making hell of a noise,

Asked oppie to resign !! Now this happened in AMK under who's ward?? Why don't the running dog come and make noise??

Actually the glue is suppose to hold the items in place than can screw or drill etc to lock the stool inplace. Howeve looks like glue only no screw. And its basically shoddy workmanship and it's cutting corners

How much does screw cost? Screws also wanna cheat and cut corners. PAP contractors really boleh! Lol

In the grand scheme of things...good quality screws are not cheap and they add up for any project...and labour to screw it in? All adds up even if u use blangahs
