老旧建筑真有风险？新加坡部长建议定时维修和检查

2024年5月8日，新加坡内政部长尚穆根在国会书面答复非选区议员潘勤群关于国有物业租金在维护和安全检查上的支出及相关情况。

以下内容为新加坡眼根据国会英文资料翻译整理：

潘勤群（非选区议员）女士询问内政部长，在过去五年中，每年：

(a) 新加坡土地管理局 (SLA) 管理的住宅物业租金中有多大比例用于维修和安全检查？

(b) 发生过哪些安全事故？

(c) 安全检查的频率如何？

尚穆根（内政部长）先生：新加坡土地管理局 (SLA) 管理着各种各样的国有物业，从商业建筑、前校舍到公寓楼和历史遗产。这些物业大多是老旧物业。它们通常由各部委和机构交还给土地管理局进行管理，并用于各种用途，包括商业、住宅、社会和社区。此外，每处物业的维护和检查也因具体情况而有所不同，例如建筑物的年龄和状况、物业的用途以及可能需要的不同程度的维护或维修。新加坡土地管理局可以提供维护、维修以及出租的总成本，但这不是一个有意义的比较。

作为维护制度的一部分，新加坡土地管理局及其指定的管理代理定期对住宅物业进行安全检查。他们还确保物业符合监管机构规定的要求。

很难全面列出新加坡土地管理局及其管理代理处理的安全事故类型，但一些例子，包括木结构的老化以及老旧物业中存在石棉等。一旦发现这些安全问题，新加坡土地管理局将采取措施迅速解决，包括听取相关专业人士的建议并进行必要的整改工作；例如，更换木结构、采取石棉控制措施等。

以下是英文质询内容：

Ms Hazel Poaasked the Minister for Law in each year of the past five years (a) what proportion of rent collected from residential properties managed by the Singapore Land Authority (SLA) was spent on maintenance and safety inspections; (b) what safety incidents were there; and (c) how regularly are safety inspections conducted.

Mr K Shanmugam:The Singapore Land Authority (SLA) manages a wide portfolio of state properties ranging from commercial buildings, former school compounds, to apartment blocks and heritage properties. The properties are mostly old properties. They are usually returned by various Ministries and agencies to SLA for management and are put to a variety of uses, including commercial, residential and social and community. In addition, the maintenance and inspection requirements for each property will vary depending on the specific context, such as the age and condition of the building, the use of the property and different levels of maintenance or repair may be required. SLA can provide the aggregated cost of maintenance and inspection and rent, but it will not be a meaningful comparison.

SLA and its appointed managing agents, conduct safety inspections on the residential state properties periodically as part of the maintenance regime. They also ensure that the properties comply with the requirements imposed by the regulatory authorities.

It is difficult to be comprehensive on the kinds of safety incidents handled by SLA and their managing agents, but some examples include the deterioration of the timber structures and the presence of asbestos in older state properties. Where these safety issues are identified, SLA will take steps to quickly address them, including taking advice from relevant professionals and carrying out the necessary rectification works; for example, replacement of timber structures, asbestos control measures.
