Imagine your neighbour getting triggered over your cooking.
And it’s not because of the taste of your cooking, or the smell.
It’s something else.
Here’s what happened in Chinatown.
Neighbours Got Into a Dispute Over Cooking, and It’s Not About the Smell
A 70-year-old retired resident at Block 536 along Upper Cross Street in Chinatown has been dealing with constant wall-banging from her next-door neighbour since 2019…for simply cooking meals in her own home.
The resident told Shin Min Daily News that her right-side neighbour frequently bangs on their shared wall, claiming that her cooking makes her unit too hot.
The disturbances began during mealtimes but intensified during the pandemic, occurring at all hours.
“I rarely eat out and prefer cooking at home. But she doesn’t allow me to cook, saying it makes her place too hot,” the resident said.
But the harassment extends beyond cooking.
The neighbour protests when the resident watches TV or practices her religious activities. The banging happens as early as 5 AM and as late as 1 AM, with the loud noises causing the resident’s heart to race.
And recently, the dispute escalated, nearly getting violent.
On 12 November around 7 PM, while the resident was watching TV with her lights on, the neighbour suddenly started banging again. When the resident knocked on the neighbour’s window grille to talk, the neighbour allegedly threatened her with a laundry pole.
The resident has filed multiple police reports since last year and sought help from her MP and relevant authorities. However, the situation has gotten worse, with the neighbour warning, “If you continue cooking, I’ll continue banging.”
A mediation session was scheduled at the Community Mediation Centre on 30 November last year, but the neighbor didn’t show up. “I don’t want to move. I just hope the authorities can step in quickly to resolve this,” the resident said.
