Residents at Punggol Central have been complaining about a
‘poo bomber’ who has been throwing faeces from the higher
floors of their HDB flats for the past two months.
According to a news report, the acts have been taking place at
Block 161A (pictured) in Punggol Central. Residents of the
block have been complaining that the area is dirty and
disgusting and that the stench is unbearable.
According to a female resident who lives on a lower floor, the incidents do not occur at a fixed time and
sometimes take place early in the morning or around dinner time. She went on to say that only faeces
were thrown at first, but the attacks have since intensified and urine was dumped too.
The woman known as Zhou, believes the thrown faeces are animal poo. Aside from making the area
unsightly, she said the faeces have dirtied laundry that’s hung outside windows.
Several residents noted that complaints have been made to the town council. However, the problem still
continues despite the distribution of leaflets around the block calling on residents to be more civicminded.
Residents living on higher floors and who own pets have denied responsibility over the issue.
Meanwhile, a spokesperson from the National Environment Agency (NEA) said it has received three
complaints about the matter.
To address the issue, it has installed a CCTV camera to monitor the situation. Agency personnel have
also visited the area and encouraged residents to report the culprit and reminded them that the
perpetrator will bear full responsibility for the inconvenience caused to residents.
