An elderly 75 year old woman, Ms Liang, rented out 2 bedrooms in her four bedroom HDB flat to two female tenants. The two women are believed to be Hong Kong citizens and they are students. She informed the two women to move out in December last year, but they have ignored the Ms Liang’s request and carried on staying in her home for another 5 months without paying the agree $500 monthly rent.
The reason why Ms Liang wanted the two women to move out was due to their selfish living habits. The two tenants would waste electricity and turn on their air-conditioners for the whole day. They even dirtied Ms Liang’s house constantly.
According to Ms Liang’s son, he said that her mother has been tolerant of their behavior for close to two years. They even scolded and insulted Ms Liang. Her heart was not good and she was depressed constantly.
Her son tried two negotiate with the two female tenants, but they refused. They ended up quarreling with Ms Liang and they angered her so much that she was sent to the hospital due to her her weak heart. That was the first time that she was sent tot he hospital due to this issue.
On May 19th, the two students quarreled with Ms Liang once again as the air conditioner was spoilt. But there was no way to fix it due to the current circuit breaker measures. The two students proceeded to scold Ms Liang once again, that was when she got a heart attack.
She had to undergo emergency heart bypass surgery at Tan Tock Seng Hospital and she is still in the hospital till today.
The two students stated that they had reached an agreement with Ms Liang and would move out one month after the lifting of the circuit breaker measures.
