What was achieved by sending fire chief on leave?

Dear Editor,

SN’s Editorial of  November 16 2021, revisiting the fire at Brickdam Police Station, brings into focus, once again, aspects of the conflagration which remain unanswered and unconvincing. 

Among the many outcomes, was the sending off for two weeks of the Chief Fire Officer.  Just what was its purpose and what was achieved?  Was it to appease a situation or to put him out of and save him from the heat?

Yours faithfully,

Shamshun Mohamed
