A woman who doesn’t live in the private estate of Lorong Chuan, had parked her car along the public road on 29 January and when she returned to her car on 1 February, received a note telling her that she doesn’t belong.
The woman spoke to Wake Up Singapore and said that her husband described the person who left the note as being “self-entitled”, and pointed out that the road that she parked on was public.
The identity of the person who left the note is unknown, but the other residents in the private estate said that it was uncalled for.
However, they did cite the limited parking spaces available as a problem.
What happened?
The woman parked her car along Chuan Walk on 29 January at about 7pm to stay with her mother who lives in a HDB flat in Lorong Chuan, as her husband was on a business trip.
She returned to her car about 3 days later and found a handwritten note left on her vehicle, which reads “you don’t belong (in) this neighbourhood. Please remove your car.”
The woman felt “resigned” over the state of Singapore’s society, while her furious husband found the note “appalling” and felt that it was self-entitled on the resident’s part, citing how the road was public and didn’t belong to the residents.
The road along Chuan Walk is a narrow road with 2 lanes and doesn’t have double yellow lines at the side.
Shin Min Daily News also reported that there were no road signs indicating that parking was not allowed, or if there are parking fees.
But there are signs by NEA reminding the residents/motorists not to park there during the cleaning hours on Wednesdays and Fridays.
