For the last five months, he witnessed the abuse of a 58-year-old woman, allegedly at the hands of her husband and her daughter.
Living just next door to the woman, he had been hearing screams of “tolong, tolong” (Malay for help) coming from her flat at night.
For the last five months, the neighbour who wanted to be known only as Mr Singh secretly photographed the alleged abuse with his mobile phone camera.
On Tuesday evening, he showed the pictures to The New Paper.
The incriminating images show the woman being hit by her 25-year-old daughter with a broom and had her hair pulled by her husband, among other vile acts.
On Monday evening, another neighbour, Mr Mohammad Juani, uploaded on Facebook a video he had taken two weeks ago of the woman being slapped by her daughter while sweeping the corridor.
It sparked outrage among netizens, one of whom made a police report, and prompted the authorities to act.
The police went to their flat that night and the woman, accompanied by her daughter, was taken to hospital.
The case has been classified as voluntarily causing hurt and investigations are ongoing.
