A former resident of a 4-room flat at Compassvale Road, 64-year-old Mr Huang, said that he can no longer tolerate the complaints of his neighbours against his 9 aircon units at home, and moved out of the unit.
Speaking to Shin Min Daily News, Huang said that his neighbours had “ganged up” against his and went to the authorities and the media.
He has since relocated to an executive flat in Sengkang, and added that he will bring over 8 of his aircon units to his new home.
He said that he has come to terms with spending an estimated $20,000 on the move to his new home, and that he had to forfeit the $7,600 deposit for the abrupt termination of his previous unit’s lease.
He also had to pay for the reinstallation of the aircon units in his new home, but said that it doesn’t matter as long as he can live comfortably.
Neighbours complaints
The complaints against Huang’s 9 aircon units hit the headlines last month.
Huang has liver cancer, and previously said that he spent $13,000 installing the aircons at him as he needed them to feel comfortable at home.
He also wears several layers of clothes at home after turning the temperature down to 18 degrees because he believes in “keeping the body” as it “helps to improve immunity”
One of his neighbours complained that the condensation from Huang’s aircons made his floor wet, and that his family has been stepping on a cold and wet floor every day.
