Being able to fully maximise space usage, is another critical factor in architecture. But to create a space into a trap, is another thing.

A snap shot that I took while hunting for a bargain in a mega store here in Singapore.

1) Defination of a booby trap:

In warfare, a booby trap is an anti-personnel weapon placed in building or in a non-combat area that has a psychological attraction for enemy soldiers. Triggering the device will kill or injure the victim.

2) Defination of a Fireman Access Panel :

ACCESS OPENING TO BUILDING FOR FIRE FIGHTING - FIRE CODE REGULATION 2007

4.2.3(a) Openings on the external wall for external fire fighting and rescue operation. Access openings shall include unobstructed external wall openings, windows, balcony doors, glazed wall panels or access panels. Windows, doors, wall panels or access panels must be readily openable from inside and outside, unless fitted with breakable glazing. Inside and outside of access openings shall be unobstructed at all times during the occupancy of the building.

Wonder what will happen if there's a real fire outbreak and the fire rescuer needs to access during the emergency? - Oh no! It's a trap!
