People next door

Saw something funny today. Residents from two condominiums at East Coast were on a dispute over a little gate. Due to security reasons, the gate was closed which created inconvenience to the other residents. They have to make a detour to get out of the place. As usual, Singaporeans complain, either to police or MPs. Eventually the matter was resolved.

And thanks to MP Chan Soo Sen who stepped in again. I guess he had a tough job in his district. First, the infamous Joo Chiat Dispute, then condos dispute. Wau lau eh, the wealthy lots are creating more problems. I mean the rich are generally well educated but their EQ seem terrible. Maybe heartlanders are better? Hmm... Not true? maybe town councils can provide a better answer.

I guess living in close proximity has its pros and cons. In short, it saves space and should enhance interaction. However, sometimes it just could not happen. Since neighbours see each other too often, they may end up quarreling even over minor issues. Watever it is, we should always remain in a harmonious relationship. You never know u may need their help one day. So back to one issue, do i know my neighbours well???
