FILTHY: A neighbour, who wanted to be known only as Mr Yap, alerted the police after he did not see the man for a week. TNP PHOTO: GAVIN FOO
Quote:By: LINETTE HENG
About a month after a hoarder died in his Toa Payoh flat, his neighbours still have to put up with the stench which they have endured for more than 10 years.
Because the mess in his flat cannot be cleaned up until his next-of-kin can be located.
The dead man, who was in his 50s, lived alone and mostly kept to himself. Seven cats were also found in the messy unit.
Neighbours complained that apart from the stench, pests like cockroaches and flies constantly hover near the flat.
Madam Siti Hasan, 32, a housewife who lives next door, keeps her door and windows shut at all times.
She said: "Our family is suffering. My kids have sensitive nose problems because the air-con has to be turned on very often."
