Residents of Block 405 at Tampines Street 41, have been grappling with a disruptive situation, as a woman in her thirties living on the fifth floor of the same block has been causing distress with incessant screaming and disruptive behavior, according to 8World News.
Opens window to shout at the world, then closes it back
Mr. Shen, a resident, shared that this disturbing pattern began in November, with the woman opening her living room windows to scream loudly towards the housing estate, only to close the windows afterward.
According to Mr. Shen, the frequency of these outbursts varies, reaching a peak of over 10 times a day. The woman reportedly screams at irregular intervals, ranging from early morning around seven or eight o’clock to late at night, even extending into the early hours between three and four o’clock.
Another anonymous female resident revealed that the disruptive behavior has extended to afternoons and evenings, with each episode lasting two to three minutes, repeatedly interrupting the peaceful environment. She expressed the impact on the tranquility of the area, emphasizing the unnerving suddenness and loudness of the screams.
Slams doors and makes banging noises
In addition to the screaming, the woman reportedly forcefully slams doors, creating loud, repetitive banging noises, and occasionally pours liquid, suspected to be water or another substance, from a height. Witnesses have expressed their discomfort with this erratic behavior, with one resident noting the detrimental effect on the once peaceful surroundings.
Videos captured by residents showcase the woman with dyed golden hair, standing by the open window, screaming in a seemingly distressed manner. In one video, her shouts include profanities.
Whole neighbourhood dulan already
During a visit to the housing estate, several residents from surrounding blocks, including 401, 402, 403, 404, 405, and 407, voiced their grievances, stating that the disturbances have been a constant source of disruption, often interrupting their sleep and impacting their overall quality of life.
An anonymous female resident shared her constant state of anxiety, always on edge at home, fearing the sudden screams. She expressed a desire to move away but is bound by a lease agreement, making it challenging to relocate.
Two weeks ago, another resident called the police for assistance due to the disruptive behavior. However, when the police arrived, the woman did not open her door, leaving authorities unable to address the situation.
In another incident this morning, the woman was involved in a dispute with a man while driving, prompting police intervention. According to a resident, the police have been summoned to the premises over 20 times in the past few months.
Residents can’t sell their homes, others sleeping at friends’ house to escape the noise
A 70-year-old resident, Mr. Chen, expressed his frustration at the disturbances affecting his rest, lamenting that, given his age, moving to a new residence was not a feasible option.
The situation is also challenging for recent movers who find themselves unable to sell their homes and relocate. A new mother in the area, concerned about her baby being disturbed, plans to use soundproof stickers on her walls.
Another resident mentioned seeking refuge at friends’ homes to escape the disruptive noise.
According to an anonymous female resident, the woman moved in approximately five or six months ago, living alone. The resident speculates on the woman’s mental health, suggesting that medication might control her behavior.
Attempts to contact the woman for clarification proved futile, as there was no response at her residence. The situation remains unresolved, leaving residents anxious and disturbed by the ongoing disruptions.
