Toh Guan flat "haunted" by flickering lights

[Ahtong]

 

A video was recently posted online, alleging that a HDB block may be haunted.

 

The shaky video, at nearly eight minutes long, is titled "Government build a Haunted HDB flat".

 

The flat in question is Blk 279, at Toh Guan Road.

 

In the video, the block is quiet, and indeed looks quite eerie as the lights in the block, including at the ground floor, lift lobby and stairwell, constantly flicker on and off.

 

There are no spirits captured in the video, and it could well be an anti-government statement to criticise the authorities on what appears to be faulty lights in the whole block.

 

Others speculate that the video could be an attempt to make people think that the estate is "unclean", which may lower the value of the flat.

 

This is because the flats at Toh Guan Road are the priciest in the Jurong East area.

 

For the residents though, the inconvenience is real, as some say they are frustrated with the problem, suspected to be caused by faulty circuits.

 

One resident, Xu Rui Juan (53, housewife) says that the flickering lights in the area makes it quite scary at night when residents return home.

When I saw this line: "Government build a Haunted HDB flat", my first thought was "Government haunts HDB flat". Then I realised that isn't news.
