“Strange” business going around at HDB flat: President

September 15, 2011

President
Republic of Singapore
Orchard Road
Singapore 238823

Dear Sir,

Officers Colluded With Neighbour

1. I wrote to the President and the Police the-people-in-the-flat-across-the-neighbour prevented independent inspection for noise in the neighbour’s flat on 1 Feb 10.

2. Bedok Police Division referring to my letter to the President and emails to the SPF Customer Relations Branch informed me they acknowledged my concerns raised and had since referred the matter to the relevent officer(s)/agencies for their consideration and follow-up action.

3. Neighbourhood Police Centre tasked to investigate replied they were unable to find evidence of the alleged noise or criminal offence. Nonetheless, they paid the neighbour a visit and reminded them of the importance of exercising consideration and tolerance toward neighbour in Singapore’s high density living enironment. But they left out the-people-in-the-flat-across-the-neighbour specifically mentioned in my letter and emails. Instead a police officer visited me three times and talked to me over the phone. In the letter they also referred me to the Community Mediation Centre.

4. I blog over two years what goes on. I would refer one to the post Integrity at http://anaudienceof.blogspot.com

5. Noise has been through the day. The rumble, knock, thump, drag, sharp and heavy sound are not noticably outside the neighbour’s flat but could be heard one level down inside my flat. It goes to show that the-people-in-the-flat-across-the-neighbour stationed over the years served more to protect the neighbour than to catch them. They prevented independent inspection at the neighbour’s flat and my flat. There is no mistake they have the influence.

6. Noise was lowered and muffled due to publicity generated from the post Behaviour published on 20 Jun 11. At the time the number of viewers double.

7. Loud sound and knock were a warning half an hour after a visit from a techical officer and the OIC (Officers-in-Charge), Pasir Ris HDB Branch Office. The visit, three days after I published Integrity, was on 18 Aug 11.

8. From the neighbour’s viewpoint, they would not stop because they have dealing with officers. Their tactic has been to reduce noise for a time after a complaint. Such is the case for the month after the last posting. Noise is generally reduced, but rumble, knock, thump, heavy sound and dropping of bead are heard. Noises are over many hours each day.

9. From the my viewpoint, there is aspect of bullying. Justice has to be seen.

10. The problem is plain in a way. Insiders and MPs do their best to assist while residents community members and high officials stay by the sideline.

11. Is there someone or a committee able to take it up?

Regards,
