However their problems and tortures went unheard or appeared to be brushed aside.

Last Monday at about 10AM in the morning, 62 year-old retiree Lee Min was preparing lunch in her kitchen when shit hit the fan literally. Out of nowhere, sewage water containing human feces and urine shot straight out of a sewage drainage opening on her kitchen floor, showering her and her kitchen with human waste.

"Usually I like to carry my rod and walk by the floating deck to buy food at a food court near Bedok Reservoir. Cisco has caught me umpteen times. I have already told him I was just walking," he said, adding that he chose to post the video online in "self-defence", after feeling threatened.
