A video of a man throwing bags of rubbish outside his neighbour’s corridor has gone viral on TikTok, but both parties say the incident is the latest chapter in a months-long dispute marked by complaints, police reports and failed mediation efforts.
The video, posted by user Kelly Lee @softhearted_kelly on Sunday (Aug 23), shows a man walking across the corridor and tossing bags of rubbish outside her unit before returning to his unit. It has amassed some 500,000 views.
Lee, 36, has also posted several CCTV clips that she says show her neighbour and his sister allegedly leaving rubbish outside her door.
Some of the videos also capture confrontations between the neighbours, during which vulgarities were exchanged.
Her TikTok videos have gone viral, attracting hundreds of thousands of views.
Both residents live opposite each other on the 16th floor of a rental flat at 182 Rivervale Crescent.
How the dispute began
Lee told AsiaOne that her neighbour, Alagan, began occasionally throwing rubbish outside her unit on July 25, before it became a daily occurrence in August.
However, the mother of three acknowledged that she has been embroiled in a dispute with her neighbours for about eight months, since she moved in last year.
From her perspective, the conflict began when some of Alagan’s items, including a parcel and a pair of slippers, went missing after Lee’s seven-year-old daughter allegedly rode a scooter over to his side of the corridor.
After Alagan informed the Sengkang Town Council about the incident, her husband was notified and he proceeded to call his neighbour.
Lee said that her husband apologised for what had happened after Alagan explained the situation and her neighbour seemed to have accepted his apology.
Everything seemed amicable after the phone call, until Lee noticed that her family was constantly being reported for various matters.
She shared that her neighbours complained about her two personal mobility aids (PMA) parked outside her house and she complied with the town council’s request to park her PMAs at the void deck below instead.
She said that she also received other complaints regarding unlicensed cats as well as noise complaints about her children being too noisy and her television being too loud.
She dismissed the noise complaints when police officers showed up, explaining that her children would not be “jumping around” since two of them are 13 and 18 and that she did not own any television.
She told the police officers: “I think the person [is] making false statements.”
Conflicting accounts
AsiaOne also spoke to Lee’s neighbour Alagan during a visit to both units in Sengkang on Thursday.
According to Alagan, things began souring from the day Lee first moved in.
