Several years ago, there was a murder in which the murderer hid the body of the woman he killed in the HDB block's water tank.
The residents complained of a foul smell and a dark colour in their drinking water, before the water tanks were investigated and the murdered woman's corpse was found therein.
Angry residents demanded that the water tank be replaced, but the HDB said, "No need, that would be too expensive, we already given it a thorough wash, it's safe to drink from the tank again."
Minister of Parliament Vikram Nair, was shown in the newspapers drinking from the tap (of the HDB building with the aforementioned water tank), in a bid to assure residents that, "See? It's perfectly safe to drink the water."
Subsequently, sharp netizens observed that Vikram Nair appeared to be possessed (and/or give a bizzare "I see dead people" look) in media videos and photos.
