Seeing that it's last minute, I'm thinking somebody is hoping that the SCDF will not notice the lapse in adhering and conforming to fire code and safety regulations.
Just a teething problem. Not a big deal. Delay opening, so what?
Fire safety comes first.
JEM Mall was delayed for a LONG time after financial crisis. The place had piles exposed and was deserted. For all to see when the MRT train passes by overlooking the empty site.
That one is Big Box, it is no longer desolate and construction has resumed after 4 years passed its expected completion dateline.JEM Mall was delayed for a LONG time after financial crisis.

Totally different owners.
Westgate by Capitaland.
Westgate, Jem Mall, Big Box should be interlinked. Direct links from Westgate and Jem Mall to JE MRT.
If possible, additional two underground links.
Say, one from Westgate to Jurong Community Hospital and one from Big Box to Ng Teng Fong General Hospital.
Is there a need for so many mega shopping centres (five) clustered around in just one particular location?
Wheelock Place is owned by Wheelock Properties, while ION Orchard is owned by Capitaland.
Yet they are linked.
You mean the actual underpass?
I thought ah gong wanted them to link that's why no choice?
I seem to remember no one ones to shoulder the cost of linkage. Shrugs.
same goes for the bridge between bugis junction and the previous iluma I guess?
but it's possible, is it not?
the owners of bugis junction bought over Iluma. now they renamed it to Bugis+
