Clutter of all kinds in the common area is a persistent issue in Housing Board estates.
For Stomper PW, who lives in Toa Payoh, the object of her ire is a toy car.
And it's not just any toy car.
It's a big, black toy Mercedes-Benz G-Class sports utility vehicle, also known as the G-Wagon.
"For months, I have been sending e-mails and calling to Bishan-Toa Payoh Town Council, regarding the huge toy car barring the walkway," said the Stomper, who shared photos of the miniature vehicle dominating the already cluttered common corridor on the ground floor.
"The last call to the officer overseeing the estate resulted in a reply to this effect: 'We are very busy and have other issues to address. If the resident refuses to comply, there is nothing we can do.'
"I am curious as well as annoyed. Isn’t maintaining a clean and hazard-free environment part of the job scope?
"This resident is constantly playing a cat-and-mouse game and it appears the town council is unable to put a stop to this inconsiderate and unsafe behaviour!"
Stomp has contacted Bishan-Toa Payoh Town Council for more info.
Update:
The Stomper said she approached her MP and within a week, the toy car was removed.
