A Facebook user, Slwk Lee, shared a video and complained that his downstairs neighbour is accusing him of making noise and has been “banging” at his unit everyday as revenge, from 2-3am in the morning until midnight.
Here is what he said
Hi all,
I believed you may read about neighbours from hell like the unit above walking loudly and beside unit pouring shit. But what I’m experiencing is daily noise nuisance from below unit. Day and Night.
I’m staying alone at Blk 144 Potong Pasir. I’m single and discharged from TTS hospital last year Apr 22 from Stroke. My left leg was affected by the stroke and I have problems on movement that resulted me to be restricted to home only, which I have not been out of my home except to go poly for doctors appointments on wheelchair. Imagine like bound at home.
My nightmare of noise started not when I was back from hospital in Apr 22 but Sep 22. The unit below bang hourly unexpectedly and each bang is quite unpredictable and loud that sometimes it can make your skin crawl and heart feel very painfully shock.
The banging daily from 5.20am to midnight every hour with a bang and stop and repeat. The now latest trend started 2-3plus in the morning also bang. These bangs are sometimes taunting sound like purposely bang to irritate. I at first did hit back or shouted out loud but as a stroke recovery person how much can I do that will result me to short of breath or balances. In the end, I just bear with it and let unit bang and bang as he pleases.
In fact, early this year before CNY I got a call from HDB in Feb 23 claiming that I was the noise maker and when I told the officer that I’m a stroke recovery person living alone, the officer then gave me the unit below phone number to try to settle ourselves.
When I call the uncle to try to understand from him was it my wheel walker causing a lot of noise or what causing his displeasure. He said I’m disrupting his PLEASURE of watching his dvd in his bedroom. Actually, when he came up to my unit and blasting his dvd from his room, we both cannot hear the dvd playing noise.
He also noticed my movement was quite restricted to moving around properly so how I can create those noises in the evening. I’m sure evening time I got better things to do to watch my own tv.
BUT, he refuses to admit that I wasn’t the person creating those noise. He cannot show me where the noise was created by me and he say if I record myself in the bedroom to prove I’m innocence. I mean seriously? Recording of me to how I lay in the bed or changing clothes to prove I am innocent? Is his head spoilt?
The uncle then said that he will hit back and bang every time he hears any disturbing sounds whether is from me or not. I’m speechless to how to defend my innocence.
The unit below is not an angel. If u see the clip of attached of what he did to his opposite unit neighbour. He should be in hospital to check his mentally? The opposite unit had used this clip to bring him to court but let him off with warning.
I’m so out of ideas to how to settle this. I have called the police before but the police only say if he do it again call them.
Anyone have any experience to help and advise me, I will be very grateful.
