SINGAPORE – Like many of his neighbours, Tampines resident Abdul Razak Subahan is often jolted awake in the middle of the night by loud cars and motorcycles revving their engines along the roads that his flat overlooks.He said this happens almost every day in the wee hours.“It can be very painful... When you’re sleeping, it triggers you to wake up. It gives you a shock,” said the software developer, 65, who lives at Block 366 Tampines Street 34.The sound is jarring, he added. “When you’re sleeping... zoom. It’s as if the world is breaking. That’s really irritating.”Subahan is among more than 10 Tampines residents who told The Straits Times that traffic noise from nearby roads has disrupted their daily lives. Their concerns were raised in Parliament by Tampines GRC MP Charlene Chen in January.Residents told ST the problem seemed to have worsened after the completion of the TPE flyover towards Changi East in 2023.While the TPE previously generated some traffic noise, it was still tolerable, they said.
