1. The owner hopes high officials would make clear an issue that has becomes messy. MPs wrote to HDB many times, but there has not been a reply; Neighbourhood Police has been tasked to investigate yet missed out on important point. They are aware of HBO's (Head, Pasir Ris HDB Branch Office's) standing and choose not to do anything. Therefore, this request to high officials.
2. The owner wrote officers at the Branch Office are involved with the neighbour over extended period, and showed HBO has extensive influence in his attempt at covering up. He saw it in the behaviour of the neighbour, officers, and Community Centre members (CC members). The details are in his blog.
3. The neighbour used noise to negotiate with the owner: loud noise, noise through the night, reduced noise after a complaint to MP or in his blog. They take instruction from and are kept informed by the officers. Works carried out through the day with workers and tools are untenable without the officers looking out for them. The people in the flat across the neighbour, who the owner shown HBO and a CC member have contact with, do that.
4. Insiders counter the officers. They assisted the owner enough to let him know the situation he is in. The problem started with the first owner who tranferred the flat to the neighbour after an eviction. An insider stopped them some years later, but they have since restarted. After the owner posted his complaint in his blog, an officer wrote there was no record of an eviction although the owner had seen the occupier shifted out and had been informed of the eviction.
5. The owner's request to stop the neighbour is reasonable--they are not the average household, they have been stopped before, and why has the authorities not refer to the people in the flat across the neighbour if there is indeed nothing to what the owner had mentioned. Noise through the day could be confirmed by inspection at the owner's flat, and worker who may not be an occupant at the neighbour's flat found out, if not for the people in the flat across the neighbour watching out for them. The officers and the people in the flat across the neighbour are in a position of influence to prevent such inspection.
6. The first two week after last month's posting, rumble and knock as usual and heavy thump was back again. The rumble and knock could be heard in all the rooms that would affect a person taking a nap or concentrating on his work. The few heavy thumps could be heard early in the morning, late at night, and at other times. Works are through the day.
7. At 4.45am on Saturday, 11 Dec 10, there was a huge thump followed by a few knocks. The owner woke, turned on the light, and wrote the first draft of this request. The following Monday noise was muffled, and the man from the flat across the neighbour showed himself in the evening. Since last Monday there was less noise, but thump, rumble and knock continue.
8. There is no direct line of command over the officers as indicated in Item 1 and 2 because of tie. High officials, Public Service Commission, President, Ministers and possibly others are the owner's last hope for a solution. Even if his observations were stripped of all associations and there is no case, at least high officials would have investigated. Keeping silent is as though high officials sided with the officers, whereas a reply shows common touch.
