The sauna was removed at the request of the flat's owner, said Marine Parade Town Council.
The infrared home sauna unit is seen in a common area at Block 427 Serangoon Central and after its removal from the area. SINGAPORE: Marine Parade Town Council staff on Thursday afternoon removed a sauna outside a Housing Board flat in Serangoon Central.
A few potted plants placed outside the wooden cabin, and a short flight of steps leading to the raised platform had been removed. The owner, identified by neighbours as a woman in her 50s or 60s, did not respond to knocks on her door. In response to queries from CNA, Marine Parade Town Council said on Thursday that the sauna had been removed at the request of the owner.
"The owner has made another appointment with the town council to further declutter the area. We will work closely with her to do so," it added. Another neighbour said that the sauna had already been present when he moved in a few years ago. He added that he had only seen the owner fewer than a handful of times.
