I am dealing with neighbour noise since April 2022

Level 4 just moved in with 5 members.

I stay at Level 5, alone.

Level 6, just happened on the same year that two of the neighbour wives passed away, meaning one unit one occupant.

Every night, I could hear pounding, hammering between 11pm to 2am. 5am – 10am turning on “machine” or “generator” sound, causing my room to vibrate.

When I approached Level 6, the uncle has a habit of doing furniture works, told me it’s not him, it’s level 7. We went up together but Level 7 said it’s not them.

I asked the neighbour next to him, he said it’s not him either. The other time, he was doing construction, the noise came to my wall.

I thought it was Level 4, they agreed to go to CMC but its really not them.

I called HDB many times, they are not doing anything. Their work hours 9am to 6pm, anything after 10.30pm, they only advice to call the police. When Police came, they can’t hear anything because the noise is intermittent between 11pm to 2am.

For the “machine” or “generator” sound, HDB came and said they couldn’t hear anything. Eventually they said it’s the fan and has asked the uncle to service the fan. To date, the sound continues…

Please anyone can help, what to do?

Anyone has any suggestion on who the culprit is because I work early in the morning…. It has been affecting my sleep very badly.

An accident happened on the Woodlands causeway last Thursday (13 October) involving 2 cars and 2 lorries, with a grey car being wrecked beyond recognition.

One of the victims who was a passenger in one of the cars, was apparently stuck between the seat and the steering wheel of the stricken car for 30 minutes.

He was eventually freed and rescued by firefighters from the Fire and Rescue Department of Malaysia and escaped with injuries to his head and some fractured ribs.

The man, 50-year-old Mr Chen, spoke to Shin Min Daily News and said that at the time of the accident, he saw a lorry accelerating towards the car that he was in through the rearview mirror.

He then heard a crash and worried that his car would be hit, he then bent down to protect his head – and when the collision occurred, his feet were crushed and he then became stuck inside the vehicle.

Being trapped inside the car for 10 minutes, he thought he was going to die, before the firefighter arrived on site and used a cutting tool to remove the car door and car mirror, before freeing him after about half an hour.

Chen told SMDN that he felt like he had returned from the gates of hell, and that he was thinking of his family when he was trapped inside.

He has since been discharged from the hospital on Friday, and he said that he still feels pain and needs to rest for at least a month – he is also scheduled to see his doctor again in 2 weeks for his spinal injuries.

Chen added that he was told if the rescue was delayed, he could’ve been paralysed.

A 43-year-old motorcyclist was killed in an accident on the Seletar Expressway on 13 October at about 5pm during a collision with another motorcycle.

According to Shin Min Daily News, the deceased’s wife was riding pillion and they were on their way home at the time of the accident.

A private ambulance happened to pass by the scene and stopped to render aid to the stricken motorists. One of the off-duty paramedics told SMDN that they reached the scene before the SCDF after a few other motorcyclists waved at them to get their attention.

They found a motorcyclist lying face down on the road and bleeding profusely from his head, he also didn’t have a pulse and wasn’t breathing.

The paramedic told SMDN that the motorcyclist had collided with another motorcyclist in front of him and was thrown off his bike, before taking a hard landing on the road.

Shin Min reported that both the deceased and his 38-year-old wife were Malaysian, and the wife had asked the paramedic about her husband’s condition.

The paramedic said that he was “frank” with her and told her that he feared he wouldn’t make it because of his serious injuries.

she then quickly made a call to her family while she held back her emotions, and the SCDF later arrived and conveyed her to the hospital.

The other 38-year-old motorcyclist suffered minor injuries and refused conveyance to the hospital, and at the time of writing, police investigations are ongoing.

The Singapore Police Force also confirmed that a 43-year-old male motorcyclist was pronounced dead at the scene and his 38-0year-old pillion was sent to the hospital.

The other motorcyclist is currently assisting with police investigations as well.
