  I LIVE in Tampines. My neighbours have been extremely distressed by a man in his 40s, who throws plastic bags of urine from his unit on the eighth floor twice daily.

  According to residents in the area, the man has been mentally ill for more than 10 years and is taken care of by his family. His actions have caused unhappiness not only because of the stench and unhygienic conditions but also because of safety reasons. Recently, a foreign worker was drenched with urine while cleaning the block. Residents now fear that this may happen to their children who play in the common areas.

  Several police reports have been filed and letters of complaints written to the town council and the National Environment Agency. However, the authorities have not been able to alleviate the situation.

  Residents also approached the man's family but to no avail.

  We hope the authorities will resolve this issue.

  Mental illness is a serious problem and safety for others too. I hope he can get the help he needed.

  I think he needs help.Any chance to report to mental health?

   

  i remember a class mate who was really smart in her studies 8 A1s in Secondary school but one day, we discovered her crazy habit. She would pee into a plastic bag and throw it into the lift so that the lift stops working because of those sensors. Said it was voices that told her to do it

  She went on to uni and then committed suicide because of voices in her head. :(

   

  I guess if only people listened to her and helped her.
