Let me relate my constant nightmare with another Malaysian Chinese in Toa Payoh.
The unit above was rented to a Malaysian Chinese, an accountant, working with 1 of the big four here. He, wify, child and mother in law lives there but also has regular stream of relatives from Malaysia.
The wife uses the hall for exercise with dumb-bells thrown around. The mother-in-law pounds chilly or whatever right on the floor even after midnight. And the kid jumps up and down all hours. As a result, my whole unit vibrates and fixtures fall down and break. My daughter, doing her masters while working could not study at night.
We paid courtesy calls to them and explained our position but they turned more nasty and threw bottles down rubbish chute that gives us heart attacks.Once they even came down and picked a fight.
Complain to police, MP, HDB but of no use. Their only secret weapon was that they are Chinese and we are not. Hence they took full advantage. So much so causing racial tension by shouting for help in Cantonese if they see me near by.
Finally, I sold my flat at a loss and moved out.
The only grace was that I had excellent relations with all my local Chinese neighbors. We use to greet each others. And their children loves me for my chocolates and cookies. Some even exchange food with us. And my children never hesitate to go out of their way to help sickly elders or if they lock themselves out.
All this beautiful neighborliness was lost forever because of a racist Malaysian Chinese FT.

why you called them racist ?
they did that on purpose because they knew you are a malay ??
perhaps they are one of those self centered ill bred species.

this happened to me too , and still happening.
sinkies are truly barbarians without a shred of civil manner.
i had lived in a number of locations and had to tolerate all sort of noise everywhere i lived.

playing music , watching dvd on full blast and the subwoofer is frightening , children running and jumping ,
pounding chilli , placing bulky items on the corridor. all these are not new to me.

So what's the pt of this story?


Race of the story person not written.

If you want to compare this story in context with that of amy cheong what this person is trying to show is that not only are malays the ones making noise but chinese make noise too *duh*

What i find really truly far fetched is this part "Complain to police, MP, HDB but of no use. Their only secret weapon was that they are Chinese and we are not. Hence they took full advantage. So much so causing racial tension by shouting for help in Cantonese if they see me near by."


Pray tell how could they being chinese and letter writer not being chinese be a secret weapon? A secret weapon? In what way could they be taking advanatge of the fact that they are chinese when facing them? Letter writer says he has excellent relations with all his chinese neighbours. Therefore suffice to say this malaysian family wouldn't have found any allies with his chinese neighbours since his other chinese neighbours are his friends. Therefore how could they being chinese be a secret weapon? The only way i can see them being chinese using it as a secret weapon is that his chinese neighbours sided with the malaysian family even though he has excellent relations with them because they are all chinese and decided to help one another. If not the police, mp, hdb decided not to take action because they are racist and want to side the malaysian chinese family. If those 2 scenerios were the case then it's definitely not the singapore that i know of because the law always sides the non chinese and not the chinese and chinese singaporeans aren't really united even amongst themselves much less a malaysian family.

I find the actions of his children helping elders totally not in relation to the story at all just trying to gain sympathy pts but is totally of no relevance at all. Who knows the malaysian family helps animals and pets and donates large sums of money to charity therefore they are even more justified in making noise at night.


One thing i can say is that the family he is at loggerheads with isn't a local family but a foreign one a malaysian family. Therefore it's more like a local vs foreign type of conflict. Perhaps that's the intention of the letter writer after all he mentions that he has good relations with his other chinese neighbours and mentions that they are local.

Author claimed to sold his flat at a loss? A bit fishy with property prices rising steadily for the last 3- 4 years already.
