He has been having a running feud with his neighbour who lives a floor below him for more than a year.

It got so bad that not only has HDB given him an eviction notice from his rental flat, but his Member of Parliament has also called him a bully.

Without naming the man, MP for Marine Parade GRC Tan Chuan-Jin wrote on his Facebook page about a “recalcitrant and hostile” resident he had met during his Meet-the-People Session on Monday.

He mentioned how the resident had been “bullying his downstairs neighbour repeatedly” until the “poor woman was distraught and at her wit’s end”.

Among his acts: Spitting, throwing water and oil, soiling her laundry and vandalising her letter box.

But the resident, Mr Tan Kiong Seng (above), is adamant that he had been framed by his neighbour, a 74-year-old woman.
