Woman complains neighbour walks around in boxer shorts; he says woman's husband does the same

A woman has complained that her male neighbour - clad in only boxer shorts - would take out the trash and "snoop" in the direction of her flat.

Ms Zeng, 50, told Shin Min Daily News that she had moved into a unit at Block 435B Bukit Batok West Avenue 5 last year and noticed the neighbour with odd behaviour.

She claimed the man would often walk through the corridor shirtless and was seen by her maid "peeking" into her unit many times.

"Only my maid and I were at home during those times," said Ms Zeng.

"He always wore only boxer shorts and would pull on the shorts as he walked by my unit, pulling the material snug against his skin.

"I didn't say anything to him initially but later found that he had peeked numerous times, so my husband reminded him to respect the neighbours."

The friendly reminder triggered a feud between the two households.

Mr Wang, 50, refuted the allegations and instead claimed that Ms Zeng was the one who caused the feud, by filing a complaint.

"I just went out to take out the trash, and wearing boxer shorts was nothing obscene," he said.

"I didn't look into her flat either."

Mr Wang claimed that Ms Zeng and her husband had stopped him in the corridor and kicked him in the calf in July last year, causing him to go on two days of medical leave.

He also pointed out that Ms Zeng's husband walked around in boxer shorts, too.

In the tit-for-tat, Ms Zeng said she found chewing gum stuck to the floor outside her flat after Chinese New Year. She believed it was Mr Wang after reviewing CCTV footage.

She reported the incident on the OneService app and called the police, saying that her water bill increased by $100 after having to wash the floor every day.

Choa Chu Kang Town Council confirmed that it had received feedback on March 8, and that cleaners had disposed of the chewing gum and thoroughly cleaned the area.

The town council also posted a notice to remind residents to dispose of garbage properly, and that it hoped everyone would cooperate to ensure that all residents could have a comfortable living environment.

Mr Wang denied spitting the gum and instead accused Ms Zeng of harassment.

He also claimed that Ms Zeng and her husband harassed him at his home during the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, shouting expletives and breaking $200 worth of potted plants.

"I called the police and they arrested her on the spot," said Mr Wang.

"Last month, the police sent a letter informing her that investigations had been concluded and she was given a 12-month conditional warning."

Ms Zeng denied this ever happened and claimed that she had never done it.
