Malaysia: fire safety

“Law” is a binding rule. “Official guidance” is not law, but inspectors expect it. “Chef Hygiene default” is a value the app checks against where no rule gives a number.

• LawPremises the Minister has designated need a Fire Certificate from the Fire and Rescue Department (Bomba), renewed every year; without one, the owner can be fined up to RM 50,000 or jailed up to 5 years (Fire Services Act 1988, ss 28 and 33). We did not confirm whether a normal restaurant is designated: ask Bomba.
• Chef Hygiene defaultService dates for extinguishers, alarms, emergency lights and electrics: we did not confirm intervals in Malaysian law (not even a yearly extinguisher check), so Chef Hygiene suggests dates you can change.
• Official guidanceEmergency: 999 for the police, fire and rescue (Bomba) and ambulance.
