I WRITE in displeasure and disgust at what greeted me at my doorstep last Thursday morning: a stench of overnight urination.
Teban Gardens is the area most affected by rapid industrialisation and bringing in foreign workers. Although I empathise with these workers, I wish they would be more considerate. Many relieve themselves at the void deck after drinking alcohol in groups. And now, with just-started lift upgrades, the pee smell is back.
As part of the upgrades, one side of the lift is sealed up, blocking off corner units like mine. This makes it dangerous for us to go home at night because you never know who might creep up on you.
