An Ang Mo Kio resident says he has it worse.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">Stomper <span><b>Alex<\/b><\/span> said teenagers have been treating the void deck of Block 125 Ang Mo Kio as a &#8220;personal playground almost every night,&#8221; causing residents to &#8220;suffer from persistent late-night noise&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">He explained: &#8220;Groups of kids and teenagers can be seen playing football, cycling and running around the block late into the night.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">&#8220;The area has become a regular hangout spot where loud laughing, screaming, shouting and chasing games continue for hours, disrupting the peace and making it difficult for nearby residents to rest. The screaming and shouting go on throughout the night, sometimes even beyond 12am.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">Alex alleged that the situation has not improved despite repeated feedback to the authorities and calls to the police.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">&#8220;In fact, the problem has only worsened over time, with the noise becoming more frequent and louder,&#8221; he added. &#8220;I hope that the relevant authorities will step in to take stronger action to restore peace and quiet in the neighbourhood.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><iframe class=\"video-container my-lg w-[620px] h-[349px]\" src=\"https:\/\/players.brightcove.net\/4802324446001\/default_default\/index.html?videoId=6386691985112\" title=\"#NoTapis\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">The ruckus is especially bad recently because of school holidays, noted Alex, who shared videos taken at around 11pm on Dec 9. The teens can be heard screaming while kicking a ball around.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">Alex told Stomp: &#8220;This is even worse than pickleball noise.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">In response to a Stomp query, a spokesperson for Ang Mo Kio Town Council (AMKTC) said on Dec 12 that it is aware of the feedback regarding noise levels.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">&#8220;Our property management team has put up signages at the void deck reminding the public to keep their volume down,&#8221; said the spokesperson.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">&#8220;In addition, we are also working with the Residents&#8217; Network to identify the children who were playing at the void deck so that we may engage their parents.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">AMKTC advised residents who experience noise disturbances between 10.30pm and 7am to contact the police at 1800-255-0000 for assistance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">The spokesperson added: &#8220;If the issue remains unresolved, they may approach the Community Mediation Centre (CMC), which provides neutral and professional assistance to help resolve neighbour disputes. Where necessary, residents may also consider seeking recourse through the Community Disputes Resolution Tribunals (CDRT).<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">&#8220;We encourage residents to remain considerate and to resolve differences in an amicable and kind manner.
