Residents of a Jurong West condominium have been left shocked and angry when they found out that their own Jurong West condominium have been registered to foreign workers as tenants, without their knowledge. The residents are now seeking answers from MOM over this very damaging process on MOM's part.

The main customers to the supermarket, situated at Toh Guan Road in Jurong East, are migrant workers, according to Ms Mo Mei Lian, 43, owner of the store. She told Lianhe Zaobao since last month their rival reached out to the workers at their dormitory areas. On 23 August, it came to their attention that the new mart distributed flyers just outside workers’ dormitory. On 10 September, they were surprised that their rival was offering free lorry rides for workers to visit their store at Jurong West.

The lift was closed for maintenance works in July, after an incident where the lift fell four storeys to the ground floor and left one woman injured. Residents now have to take the stairs to their units, and some have voiced their frustrations, and noted that pregnant women and the elderly would be the ones that will be greatly affected by this inconvenience.

A woman who works at a vegetable stall at Jurong West market threatened her debt collectors with a 10cm-long chopper. The 4 debt collectors had approached her to claim her $20,000 debt when she brandished a knife at them and dared them to stab her. When asked by police, she said she was using the knife in self defence as she was "bullied" by the debt collectors who even threatened to kill her husband. Not sure if the debt collectors were being "nice", but they actually went to her stall with a sign that read "debt collection in progress, do not panic". Who bully who, like that? Auntie so daring siol!

A gas leak from a damaged underground pipe caused about 1,305 households in 12 HDB flats at Jurong West to go without gas. The gas disruption occurred on Friday afternoon. There was also a fire that broke out at the void deck of one of the blocks as a direct result of the gas leak. Fortunately, SCDF managed to put out the fire. Reports indicated that some work were being carried out at the underground pipe which got damaged. All affected blocks had their gas supply back on by 9pm. SP Group indicated that the gas pipes were switched off as a precautionary measure and to isolate the leak while engineers repair the damaged pipe and restore supply.
