      Chinese July month (hungry ghost festival) and chin ming..these 2 mths I hate the most..as we have to endure for a month of smoke and dust..somemore we stay low floor. not only have to endure the neighbour but oso whole block residents. worse than 2nd hand smoke..haiz

      speaking of this, i just remembered the big common bin is just directly at my unit down at the ground floor. Although mine is the up the 14th floor, i can smell the smoke and also good luck papers flying to my home. And whats more, the bin is there for good. Its not rotated to other blocks...

            [Anyway, for the potted plants one.. Just give a call to HDB or TC.. It is Illegal to put potted plants on those structures.. safety hazard. Even those ledges are not allowed already.


            really? but they actually fenced it up with wire around the ledge wor.... anyway, i hope their flowers will die soon... evil i know but i really :mad:

            Whether they fence it or not it is not allowed by HDB rules. And they fence themselves not govt fence one.. who can be assured of it's quality?

            You just call the TC/HDB and express your concern over potential \"killer litter\" and leave them to act on it.

            Maybe if the govt pple visit they'll just guai guai remove.. if they very persistent, there's possibility that the officials may \"close one eye\".. but no harm trying.. coz they may guai guai follow also.. and of coz, if you also very insistent, and threaten to write letter to ST if they(HDB/TC) continue do nothing, prob you got higher chance of winning.

            BTW, they water until the whole place wet.. the aircon compressor won't spoil meh?

            You can add another \"complain\" of potential fire hazard / electrical leakage because they wet the compressor. :evil: :evil:

                Does anyone know the schedule of incense paper burning during the Hungry Ghost month. I thought it is on 1st and 15th but I notice burning also happen on other days. Also, is there a time of the day that they burn.

                Any day for the whole 7th month, any time..
