SINGAPORE: The notorious woman known as the “neighbour from hell” has shocked residents once again, having moved from Punggol to Bukit Merah. Her infamous antics haven't just relocated; they've escalated, inflicting horror on at least one of her new neighbours.

Reports indicate that the woman is now notorious for blasting her radio at ear-splitting volumes, a disturbance that seeps into adjoining units. This echoes a previous exposé in The Straits Times from 2019, where her list of transgressions included bizarre and extreme actions like splattering oil on her neighbour's door, leaving a bloody pig's ear on a shoe rack, and stomping aggressively across her floors. It’s no wonder that during her time in Punggol, six households vacated their homes to escape her disruptive ways.

Now a new resident, Mr. Lin, who was unaware of the woman's reputation beforehand, has begun living a nightmare in Bukit Merah. In less than six months of moving in, he has already called the police four times, desperately seeking relief from the unending racket. At 55 years old, Mr. Lin comments that her music often reaches an unbearable crescendo, assaulting his senses and preventing any semblance of restful sleep.

Mr. Lin elaborates on the ordeal, saying, “The loud music echoes from the evening until the next afternoon. I can barely find time to relax.” To compound matters, he is often jolted awake during the night by the woman's aggressive door slamming, an act he describes as intrusive and startling.

In an attempt to cope, Mr. Lin resorted to purchasing headphones hoping they could shield him from the persistent disturbances, but to no avail. His situation has sadly deteriorated to the point where he now sleeps on his living room couch, further from her loud flat.

After reaching out to the previous owner of his unit, Mr. Lin learned that they had also vacated due to the disruptive behaviour of their new neighbour. When he cautiously approached her to request a reduction in volume, she responded with defiance, claiming that the problem stemmed from the thin walls rather than her excessive noise. To his dismay, she even unleashed a barrage of insults.

Feeling trapped and desperate, Mr. Lin expressed to the local daily, “There are days I prefer working late just to avoid the chaos at home. I honestly don’t know how much longer I can endure this.

Residents of Bukit Merah might be advised to brace themselves as this saga unfolds. With the reputation of the “neighbour from hell” now taking root in yet another community, the residents are left wondering: how long will this nightmare continue? Stay tuned for updates on this ongoing storyline—one that might just rival a thrilling horror flick!
