Neighbours Quarrelled Over Birds Chirping & Escalated to an Angry Racist Argument

Imagine being in an HDB flat, doing what you usually, perhaps working from home. And then you’re disturbed by your neighbour’s sound.

Ah, my Malay neighbour’s bird is chirping. Alas, it may be a beautiful sound, but it is nonetheless proving a little distracting in light of my work.

You knocked on the neighbour’s door, who you knew to be a fine Malay gentleman.

“Hey Auntie, how you doing? I have to tell you, the babi buah keluak you shared the last time was so good.”

“Glad you liked it! But uhm. I’m busy with something right, and your bird is a bit distracting.”

“Oh, I’m so sorry. I’ll to do something about it. Come here, little bird, you’ll have to spend some time in the house so you don’t distract the neighbours.”

Bird chirps, not realising humans don’t understand chirp-ese, “It’s okay, I understand. See you soon, auntie.”

“Thank you! See you again!”

“Really sorry ah. Next time let you try our family’s Rendang.”

At least, that was the imaginary scenario playing in my head.

What manner of neighbour interaction will Facebook show me today?

As Thanos says, the reality is often disappointing.

Oh yeah, if you’re going to watch the video, make sure to not wear headphones or earpieces cause it gets loud later on.

As with our given scenario, we have a bird chirping disturbing a neighbour auntie in an HDB.

Auntie Started Taking Photo/Video Of Chirping Bird

Who came out of her flat and pointed her phone at the bird, probably to take a photo or video to complain somewhere.

A man who seems like the owner of the bird then comes out of his flat and asks “So kaypoh ah, you?”

He asks the auntie to look at her own place first, pointing to something.

From the sound of it, this isn’t the first time such a conversation happened. The auntie then said, “Then you look at your bird bird! Before you come and say (other) people.”

She then added, “People pray cannot ah?”

The man still appeared relatively calm at this point, trying to explain his position. From their exchange, this seems to be a point of contention before.

But shit went from 0… Okay maybe not 0 but like 20, to 100 fast.

Racist Comments From Auntie

The auntie started saying “no brain”, and then followed up by saying, “You all Malay, no brain ah!” the man just exploded.

His family came out of the flat to see what the commotion is about, and from the sound of it, the wife also joined in the argument.

In the interest of my ears (and yours), it is better not to try to decipher every word they were saying. Let’s just say that the argument went nowhere at the end of the minute-long video.

What’s the moral of the story? If you’re a bird, you have to be content with the sound of quarrelling neighbours.

Or don’t quarrel with your neighbours or you’ll make even more noise. Yeah, that.
