A male resident has apologised after splashing urine at his female neighbour’s door, claiming he regrets his actions.
The incident was captured on CCTV.
Five Years of Unwanted Advances
The incident took place at Block 327B Sumang Walk in Punggol. The 46-year-old female victim, who works as a clerk and requested anonymity, told reporters that her male neighbour upstairs moved in five years ago.

At first, they only saw each other in the lift, where he would initiate conversations. She chose not to respond. Over time, she noticed him standing by his window, staring at her front door.
He also placed two handwritten notes, which she described as “love letters,” outside her unit.
“I didn’t respond when he greeted me in the lift. Later, I saw him several times standing by his window, staring at my front door. He even printed ‘love letters’ and left them at my door twice,” she said.
According to Shin Min Daily News, the woman lives alone and feared that rejecting him might provoke an aggressive reaction.
She tolerated his behaviour for years until 28 March 2025, when he splashed urine at her door.
CCTV Shows Suspect in Action
“I was sick and at home that day. When I woke up, I smelled urine. I checked the CCTV footage and discovered it was my male neighbour who had splashed urine,” she said.
Footage showed the man wearing a black shirt, holding what appeared to be a plastic cup. He splashed an unknown liquid at her door before turning around and running towards the rear stairwell.
Urine stained the walls, door and floor of the unit. The woman spent almost a full day cleaning up.

She lodged a police report on the same day.
She said she began a relationship six months ago and her boyfriend visits her home regularly. She suspects the male neighbour became jealous upon seeing this and splashed urine in anger.
Initial Denial
The man initially denied the incident when confronted. Later, he apologised.
When Shin Min Daily News reporters visited him on 7 Jun 2025, he appeared agitated and refused to admit to the act. But when told that CCTV footage existed, he froze before shutting his door.
As reporters prepared to speak to other neighbours, the man reopened his door and said his mother was seriously ill. “Sometimes people do things. I feel very regretful now thinking about it. I don’t know why I did that,” he said.

When asked if he acted out of rejection, the man denied it. He said his admiration for the woman was in the past and claimed he was not provoked before the incident.
He expressed regret and said he was willing to compensate the victim. He also promised to apologise to her and guaranteed he would not repeat such behaviour.
Protection
Stalking and harassment cases are taken seriously under Singapore’s Protection from Harassment Act (POHA), which provides legal remedies for victims facing unwanted advances, intimidation, or nuisance acts.
Victims can apply for Protection Orders to prevent further contact and can also seek compensation for emotional distress or property damage.
In recent years, authorities have stepped up enforcement and public education to encourage victims to report such behaviour early, ensuring their safety and well-being are prioritised.
