Some days, she would find grains of salt & ashes on the front door & windows of her 2-room flat in Block 55, Toa Payoh Lorong 5. On other days, she would find her laundry drenched in oil.

Mdm Lau Yoong Kin believes the culprit is her next-door neighbour, a woman in her 60s. She said she & her husband have been tolerating their neighbour's antics for the past 10 years.

"It's like living in a horror house ... is this fit for human living?" said the 78-yr-old retiree.

Some residents of Block 55, Lorong 5 Toa Payoh, are concerned about their safety due to the antics of one of their neighbours, who had been spotted flinging burning items over the parapet & splashing what appeared to be a corrosive liquid outside her home.

A housewife, who asked not to be named, told The Sunday Times yesterday that she had been hearing the woman shouting loudly every morning for the past 2 months.

She said the woman, who lives on the 10th storey of the block, would start yelling at around 7am and continue for about an hour before stopping.

Residents in that block have complained about the woman’s behaviour, which they say has persisted in the last few years. This includes shouting at different times of the day to scattering incense ash outside her neighbours’ homes.
