Piyopico Supercharged December 3, 2011 Share December 3, 2011 (edited) Link Some residents are asking for the authorities to tear down a temple near their homes. These residents recently moved into newly-built private apartments near the well-known Singapore Buddhist Lodge located at Kim Yam Road near River Valley Road. They are complaining that the temple is too noisy and that devotees' vehicles are obstructing traffic. Due to these reasons, some residents intend to motion for the authorities to tear down the 60-year-old temple. Many netizens are condemning these residents and saying that they are a self-centred bunch. Netizens point out that if the newly moved-in residents cannot stand the smoke and noise from a temple, they should not buy a home near a temple in the first place. The Singapore Buddhist Lodge is no stranger to complaints. A spokesperson of the temple says that in the past, residents have complained about the noise from the ventilator in the temple's chimney, and about devotees turning up for breakfast at 4am at the temple. The spokesperson says that the temple tries its best to take corrective action after receiving complaints, but can only do so within reasonable limits. On complaints from residents of the newly-built apartment, the spokesperson points out that the access roads were in fact blocked by construction vehicles parked at both sides of the road. The construction vehicles belonged to the contractor of the new apartments. Despite this, accusing fingers were once again pointed at the temple. The temple has not heard any news about requests to tear it down. Source: Shin Min Daily News, 2 December 2011. Click here for the Chinese report. Somehow I have this feeling locals dun make such requests............... What happened to religious tolerance? Things are getting out of hand.

2009k Neutral Newbie December 4, 2011 Share December 4, 2011 (edited) Last time i wanted to buy a unit at Geylang, it's next to a Buddhist association or something. After considering the possible noise etc, also never buy lah. Very unreasonable to ask others to accommodate you when you're the new kid on the block...
