Yang, an elderly resident of Yishun, has lined the common corridor of his block with over 100 potted plants, boxes, and water bottles. Despite neighbors not objecting to the placement, Yang has been ordered by the Yishun Town Council to remove the items within a week due to public safety concerns.
A Yishun resident has received complaints about the items placed at the common corridor .An elderly resident in Yishun has been ordered to clear the multitude of items he had placed in the common areas of his block, following a complaint over public safety.
According to Shin Min Daily News, there were over 100 potted plants as well as boxes and pails placed around the block. The boxes at the back of the block are used to collect rainwater to water his plants, he explained. To prevent mosquitoes from laying their eggs in the water, he covers the pails and rears fish in those that are uncovered."When they're ripe, I pluck them and share them with my neighbours and the cleaners. They're very happy and they like my plants.""If someone complains, I'll definitely cooperate with them," he said.
Another 50-year-old resident, who lives on the second floor, said she knows Yang and does not mind his belongings occupying the ground floor, since she's hardly at home.
