A man at Block 623C, Punggol has become the centre of attention online after a video surfaced showing him repeatedly shouting vulgarities in Hokkien at his neighbours. The incident, shared on the Singapore Incidents Facebook page, has since gone viral, drawing both laughter and concern from netizens.
In the video, the man is heard yelling a string of crude words, including the infamous “KNNBCCB” phrase, countless times from his corridor. His actions left bystanders bewildered, with some suggesting he may have been under stress or suffering from mental health issues. Others, however, took a lighter view, treating the episode as comedic relief.
Neighbours filming the incident can be heard reacting in disbelief, while the comments section on Facebook quickly filled with jokes, criticism, and speculation about the man’s behaviour.
Netizens React With Humour and Concern
The video attracted hundreds of reactions, with some Facebook users joking that the man was “practising to be the 2026 NDP parade commander” or “training his lungs for morning exercise.” Others quipped that his shouting was a new form of “national anthem” in Hokkien, while one joked about property prices at the affected block dropping.
On the other hand, many netizens voiced genuine worry, pointing out that such behaviour could distress children and families living nearby. Several suggested that the man might require medical attention, with repeated calls for his relatives to bring him for a check-up at the Institute of Mental Health (IMH).
A Growing Neighbourhood Concern
While some online found humour in the spectacle, residents in the block expressed frustration. Frequent shouting incidents could cause tension in the community and even affect the resale value of flats. Some commenters argued that HDB should consider clauses to evict tenants who repeatedly harass neighbours, while others highlighted the need for stronger mental health support for elderly Singaporeans who may be struggling with stress or isolation.
The incident has reignited conversations about neighbour disputes, mental wellness, and community harmony in high-density living. For now, the man’s loud outburst has made him an unexpected social media sensation, though many hope the authorities or his family will step in before the situation escalates further.
