SINGAPORE - Community mediator Steven Yeo shared his own experience with a neighbour who dragged furniture at 3am, to argue for tolerance, during a discussion on unacceptable noise in a dense city like Singapore.

Sympathetic to his neighbour's medical condition, Mr Yeo decided to bear with the noise. It stopped when the man died. "We should remember that other people have their circumstances, and it's important to share a common understanding when sharing the same estate," he added. The panel is assisted by the Municipal Services Office and the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth .

The 62-year-old said that for the past 14 years, he has had to put up with noise from funeral wakes held at least once a month near his block in Toa Payoh.

Your Say: Learn from the SAF in managing workplace accidentsI read with disappointment the latest news of yet another worker dying as a result of a workplace accident, the 32nd workplace fatality in Singapore. Constructions are different from SAF and safe practices are so very different as well. Perhaps a closest industry construction can learn from is the oil and gas.
