SINGAPORE: In retaliation for a neighbour who smoked in their flat, one couple threw things onto her air-conditioner ledge and made loud noises. The smoker then sued the couple for trespassing and private nuisance, claiming damages of $60,000.
CNA reported that the magistrate’s court in the neighbour dispute awarded Ms Pua S$17,000 in damages over a number of her claims. The counterclaims of Mr Ng and Mdm Chua were dismissed. CNA added that the dispute began when the couple, unhappy with the smoke from Ms Pua’s flat, would throw liquids, wet food, or watermelon seeds onto the air-con ledge and kitchen window or at her front gate.However, the couple claimed that the substances from their unit that fell on Ms Pua’s had not been intentional since they had birds and plants on their balcony or cleaned their windows and balcony.
Two videos that were played showed Mdm Chua was responsible for throwing some items, such as an egg, onto the ledge. Watermelon seeds and other items in a mop were lowered from the upper floor and then shaken so that the items would fall onto Ms Pua’s flat.
