PROPERTY INVASION

We were back home in Penang for Dumpling Festival and early Father's Day celebration. Got back here last night.

As usual, once home and settled down, we’d be checking the compound, making sure that everything is alright and in place.

To our horror, we found scaffoldings and building materials in our backyard! Obvious signs of intrusion! My gawd... To make things worse, there’s an ugly extension to our wall! Stupid neighbour!

For your info, the wall was built by us on our land, every single penny borne by us. In others words, this stupid neighbour does not have the slightest tinge of right to it. And they dared building something on it, without even consulting us. And they picked to do it while we were away. How sneaky is that??

Like that is not enough. They had to trespass our property by letting their contractors enter our compound, which is securely locked at all times. To enter our compound, they’ll have to use a ladder and climb over. How daring is that? To add to it, they brought along the scaffoldings and building materials, and left them there on our nicely planted grass. With all this evidence, we can really charge them for trespassing!

Seeing all these, we went over to their front gate wanting to talk. Once doorbell was rung, they switched off the porch light and ignored our presence – obvious sign of guilt. That really got us boiling. So we continued ringing the doorbell till they finally appeared.

Cut the story short, this neighbour is really ridiculous! Especially the wife a.k.a. bitch. Anyway, just for the record, she’s a well established bitch with a reputation.

At first, she didn’t even want to talk. She said, “Well, since you’re not really using the wall, might as well we use it first. And when it’s time, only come talk to us.” Then she grabbed the husband’s arm, pulling him back into the house, saying “Jom masuk, sayang.” So it’s like what, end of discussion?? Ignore these people? It’s our wall we’re talking about, you bitch!

Of course we won’t let go and wanna state our points. After all, they’re the wrong ones here – of property invasion. This bitch was really so harsh and uncivilized that we had to shout back at her to make our points heard.

The interesting part was that the husband didn’t even say a single word throughout the drama. And when he had enough of everything, he finally said something, “Ok, this is enough. I’ll get the contractors to move everything away from your compound tomorrow. And I will also ask them to bring down the wall.” The bitch stared at him, like wanting to swallow him up.

So ok, at least he’s more reasonable. And problem solved.

All the best to you. They are still your neighbour until you or they move to another place. :)

that's the thing. we're so "lucky" to have them. dunno what to say also. out of so many people.

the rest of the community are very nice people actually. as you drive along the streets, everybody would wave, smile and say hi. or if you're outside, people will just drop by and make friends. it's really very nice.

but this family, errr.... like i said, well-established bitch. :P what more can i say?
