After the former owners were sent to jail, Madam Herni Fadhillah Saad thought she could finally move into the flat that she bought five years ago.
Mr Lim Teck Choon, 59, and his wife, Madam Tan Poh Lee, were jailed for contempt of court after defying court orders to vacate the flat.
But after they were released on Thursday evening, Madam Herni ended up in a two-hour shouting match with Mr Lim after he showed up at the flat.
Madam Herni told The New Paper on Friday that she had gone to the flat at Bedok South Road at 10pm on Thursday and was shocked to see Mr Lim standing outside the door.
”When I asked him why he was there, he started shouting, insisting that it is his home,” she said. Mr Lim said he had returned to his old flat because his current rental flat was unliveable.
A neighbour, who declined to be named, said she saw four policemen at the lift landing when she returned home at about 8.30pm.
Mr Lim was sitting outside the flat.
Another neighbour living a floor below, Madam Png Ah Hock, 75, said she heard shouting coming from upstairs at about 10pm.
“The shouting was very loud and they sounded very fierce,” she said in Mandarin.
“I didn’t go and take a look because I was so frightened. I stayed at home. I was too scared to open the door.”
When TNP went there close to midnight, Mr Lim was sitting forlornly outside the flat.
