'I have to take out a pail every time it rains': Serangoon HDB residents say ceilings leaking for years

SINGAPORE — For more than 1.5 years, Eden Tan has had to reach for a pail each time it rains because water would start dripping from the ceiling of her Serangoon Housing Board flat. Shortly after Tan moved into the four-room flat on the top floor in 2022, she noticed that the ceiling would leak when it pours. Roof repair works by the town council have not fixed the issue, which has become worse amid the recent rainy weather. It has caused mould to grow inside one of the bedrooms, and parts of the plaster on the ceiling to crumble off. «I always have a pail in the affected room to catch the murky water, but it gets full in a few hours. This entire ordeal has been very distressing for my family and we are desperate for it to be fixed,» said the 36-year-old housewife. Tan, who lives in the flat with her husband, five-year-old son and eight-year-old daughter, is one of at least four households in the same block that have had to live with leaky ceilings. She told The Straits Times she is worried that the leaks could potentially be dangerous if water drips onto electronics at home.

When two Health Sciences Authority (HSA) officers showed up at one man's door and asked to enter his home for an inspection, he refused to let them in.  The man then posted a series of six videos of the encounter named «uninvited guests» on his TikTok account Rapperboya. His first video, which was posted on Nov 15 and garnered over 2.1 million views, shows two plainclothes HSA officers at his door showing their IDs and asking to search his home for e-cigarettes and vaporisers. However, the man insists he will not open the door unless he is shown a warrant. In a second video, two police officers are seen accompanying the HSA officers as they return to the man's home. After explaining the nature of their visit, which was shown in subsequent videos, the man agreed to co-operate with the investigation and let the officers into his flat. Before entering his home, one of the officers asked the man: «Would you like to declare any vapes?» To which he replied: «No.»

Bloodstains found at HDB block in Punggol after suspected fight among youths

Some residents in Punggol were startled by the sight of bloodstains at the staircases and void deck on Tuesday (Nov 26) evening.  A fight allegedly broke out among a group of youths at Block 622B Punggol Central at about 8pm, reported Shin Min Daily News.  A resident surnamed Huang told 8world that he was waiting for the lift when he saw three men and one woman at the void deck.  One of the men was bleeding profusely from the neck, and his blood was dripping onto the floor.  «I got a little nervous because I didn't know what happened to him,» said Huang, who estimated the men to be in their 20s.  The resident saw the group walking towards the nearby coffee shop, but did not know where they were headed.  Huang said he's lived in Punggol for 14 years but has not seen anything like this happen before.  A resident, who only wanted to be known as Mrs Ye, told Shin Min that she spotted an ambulance and police cars parked below the block. Several police officers were also seen walking around the area, before cordoning off a sizable area of the void deck.
