Apartments Under Siege

Elroi Yee, Journalist, The Fourth | Gary Choong, Sea Park Apartment Resident

Apartments Under Siege

Imagine you live in an apartment where the entrance and car park are areas you're not allowed to walk on. This is what's happening to the residents of SEA Park Apartments, whose homes are encircled by someone else's private land. The landowner has taken to extreme measures such as obtaining court orders, threatening to dig up the land, and even had men placed at its entrance to collect parking “fees”. So we speak to Elroi Yee, the journalist who uncovered this story, as well as an apartment resident. Then, we ask our listeners what they would do, if they were stuck in this situation.
