SINGAPORE - An elderly couple were shocked when their son demanded they move out of the flat they shared, over a dirty toilet and household chores.
According to Wanbao, he also handed them a $2,000 cheque after the couple asked him to return the $20,000 they had loaned to him, on condition that they no longer return to the flat.
The domestic quarrel was triggered because their son, 33, an army personnel, was unhappy that the toilet which his parents use had become 'dirty and smelly'.
The fight erupted yesterday in a flat in Woodlands block 769, at around 10.30am. The bickering lasted six hours, during which the son called the police.
According to the mother, Mrs Fu, 55, both she and her husband, 62, suffer from high blood pressure, and she also has diabetes.
Her son had asked them to clean the house and help with chores, but Mrs Fu says she has rheumatism, and is unable to do much.
Mr Fu was involved in an accident a few years ago and had difficulty walking, which makes doing household chores almost impossible, says Mrs Fu.
The couple, along with their youngest son, 27, had moved in with the eldest son a year ago, to help look after his two young daughters.
He had just gotten a divorce then and needed help to care for them, but has since remarried.
Even then, said Mrs Fu, they were asked to pay $1,000 a month in 'rent'.
The police were called in a second time at about 12pm, when Mrs Fu sought their help to get a loan back from their son. They wanted him to return them $8,000 at least, from the $20,000 he allegedly borrowed.
In the end, their son gave them a $2,000 cheque, on condition that that they no longer return to the flat.
The son told a Wanbao reporter that he had chased his parents out of the flat because they did not clean up after themselves and refused to do any household chores.
As a result, he and his wife often quarrelled over the matter.
He claimed he called the police only because his father had threatened to kill him, and wanted to take a chopper from the kitchen.
He also said he did not borrow $20,000 from his parents, but that it was a sum that they had given him.
