Might as well consider these Safety Air Pack a mandatory item and have HDB install it permanently next to all HDBs
Also need to hire companies to provide weekly checks to make sure they are fully puffed up and not depressurised

An intensive hours-long standoff at an Ang Mo Kio HDB block ended when a 57-year-old man jumped from the 12th-floor ledge onto a safety life air pack deployed by emergency responders.
Incident Summary
Date & Time: September 20, 2026, starting around 3:30 PM (jumped at approximately 6:20 PM).
Location: Block 645 Ang Mo Kio Avenue 6 (12th floor).
The Individual: A 57-year-old man who did not reside at the block.
Outcome: He landed safely on an SCDF safety life air pack, was apprehended under Section 7(1) of the Mental Health (Care and Treatment) Act 2008, and was taken conscious to Khoo Teck Puat Hospital.
Key Details from Residents
Prior Disturbances: Long-time residents recognized the man, stating he had visited someone on the 12th floor previously and was known for shouting and coming over to "cause quarrels."
The Climb: On the afternoon of the incident, residents recalled hearing him knocking on a neighbor's door and shouting. When a neighbor tried to dissuade him, he allegedly stated he had come to "cause trouble." He then used a sofa left along the common corridor to climb onto the ledge/parapet.
Corridor Clutter Concerns: Residents expressed frustration over clutter lining the 12th-floor common corridor—including shoe racks, plants, bicycles, and the sofa used in the incident—noting that the presence of the sofa directly facilitated his access to the ledge.
I am not sure what the cause for "Public Concern" is ..
It is just to prop up property prices and especially cater to HDB flippers that the whole import is going on.
