Denny's Living Environment
He went to his apartment and was in shock of the small living space of 150 square-feet. Since he didn’t have the full payment of the apartment, his mother divided his flats into three to help clear debts from the bank. “I never thought that my apartment would be that tiny,” he said.
Suen claimed his flats were subdivided according to the government regulations, which will not affect the building structure. ‘I spent $180,000 to hired an experienced construction worker in subdividing my flats.’ He pointed out the walls of his flats were properly built in concrete, and are sound proofed. He also mentioned his flats are better refurbished with individual toilets. Besides, necessities, such as water and electricity, are separated into three sets of bill. ‘The selling point of my subdivided flats is that there are more privacy.’ He added.
Furthermore, he stated the door designs of his flats are different from many of the others. ‘One of the major reasons that fatal fire accidents happen in the subdivided flats is the design of doors. While many of them are pushed out – which block other residents from escaping the flat, ours are pulled in instead,” he pointed.
