go ahead...nobody can stop unfrenly neighbours who doesn't talk to one another, promote hatred, create chaos and who assume lots of stuff w/o really knowing the truth behind?Originally posted by Ito_^:he wld probably be scolded for being busy body and given the evil eye every time they meet. den he will report, den he will be cursed on every ghost festival all his life.
i rather report.
as i have mentioned, if u want to report, find out more b4 doing so. otherwise, u can be seen as being superficial.
talking abt gd neighbours...i'm sure glad my area dun have pple who parked in the disabled lots, much less of pple like the thread-starter and perhaps u (who will be joining this league?)
seriously, u guys should talk more to ur neighbours. it is communal living and certainly i do see less n less tolerance between pple living in such areas. -
Clap Clap.. This kind of person should be reported, so many places to park and he had to park at a Disabled lot. No respect for disabled people.

A toast from me.. cheers. u did the right thing.. keep it up.

But there's a time, when i talk to my neighbour in regards about him smoking in the elevator of the carpark.........
I said:" Hi, dun mind me asking you... why do you need to carry a lit cigarette into the lift?
He said:" Hey, mind your own business,k!!!! Why, you want kapoh is it?!!! Huh... goberment says no smoking in the lift, but i only brought in a lit cigarette cannot meh.!!!"
I replied:" But you do know that this is a common lift, and you expect everybody to smell your smoke. Common.... you wait another 2 mins before liting up the cig cannot meh?!!!!"
"Why you bother? I do wat i like. You pay tax, i pay tax. I got my right and i didn't break any law. You so smart, call mata come lah and see who win?!", he replied.
Then i know that the continuation of the conversation will be in vain, cause i can't bring my point across to him.
So how? i got this kind of neighbour who is so ti kee and i had to suffer in silence......

if that's the case, i'll support ur cause too bcos u have initiated that talk and so call given a chance to defend his thoughts/actions. for him to challenge u, i'll call police straight away and request him to stay in the lift as he is with the lighted ciggy. that neighbour of urs ought to learn his lesson the hard way then.Originally posted by Disappointment:

but wif regards to the thread starter decision...there's certainly no mention of that. simply put it, we dunno alot of details in here.
standing up for what is right is gd but when neighbours are putting up a false front...it becomes ugly and downright nasty. this is an attitude that is unwarranted for both parties. i agree that if one is not disabled, he/she should not occupy that lot and for any1 to just report based on superficial information or even lack of information is clearly an equally nasty attitude?
anyway, pple are just replying thru emotions in this thread. lots of them...and how many do drive?
still i'll say this, be a gd, considerate and responsible neighbours. -

Originally posted by tiggersgd:first off, we don't really know alot of details. it is nevertheless one sided story and perhaps a selfish and may i even suggest vicious move by the thread starter? and u have been assuming and presuming from the start of your reply to me...how objective can that be?
yes
i totally agree with you that we only have one side of the story...
yet despite that, you have un-assumingly and un-presumingly labelled him as "evil"
now that's being real objective...
when i say evil, pls go back and read what the thread starter has stated..."he hesitated for a long time...the neighbour has parked there for a lot time..." etc etc. a gd neighbour is not one that bao toh others but displayed that civic-mindedness that you may be saying...that is to ask if not show some gd neighbourliness. by that i mean, talk to the neighbour and let them know it is politically not right for him/her to park in the disabled lot. by going straight to the authorities w/o first understanding certain issues of that neighbour (perhaps the family has an elderly that has some form of disable functions??) is not civic minded, much less an equally selfish act and taking things into his own hands?
so, to not be neighbourly is "evil" while taking-up a lot meant for more needy ppl is just a pressing need?
if that were the case, perhaps the driver with "disabled elderly" family member could appeal to the town council for cancellation of the parking ticket. however, i think he/she would have a hard time explaining why he/she could not move the car after bringing the disabled elderly family home; and on many different occassions at that...
is the thread-starter being a good neighbour? probably not...
does reportng a misbehaviour constitute a "selfish act and taking things into his own hands"? i totally disagree
this is definitely different from if u see some1 being robbed and stand by doing nothing... if a car is parked in an unloading/loading lot, is it automatically assumed that it is unloading/loading but the driver or passengers are not seen unloading/loading stuff? my point here is that, if we want to be gd neighbours, then be a gd neighbour and talk to them to find out even b4 u assume otherwise.
so if we see a theft, we are to talk to the thief and find out why he's stealing? maybe he comes from a poor family with many siblings to feed and parents are not working? and then perhaps we could counsel him and maybe recommend him a job?
i wouldn't recommend that for robbers though... they tend to be more violent...
oops... sorry... i'm being assumptive and presumptuous again... bad habit
i dun think the thread starter has initiated a talk with the neighbour that commited the wrong parking in question. how can that constitute being a gd neighbour and how civic minded that can be? well, one can only say it is subjective. but the motive? hatred perhaps?
yes, it's pretty obvious that the thread starter planned to incriminate the mis-parked car driver from the very beginning. i'm sure he has his job cut out for him...
so can u differentiate civic mindedness then?
can u differentiate between not being a good neighbour and being evil?
for your information, i have seen my fair share of people not having the disabled decal on the car and yet screamed, yelled and shouted like a woman (but a man) for that disabled lot within the visitor's parking area, all in a private condo. so tell me all abt it.
so, were you a good neighbour and find out why that yelling, screaming man insisted on parking in a visitors' disabled lot? -
i think u have ur stand, so do i. but then i can't help u if u choose to bend words (esp on the robbers part and pls dun be so goon in thinking one can talk to robbers in action...:rollOriginally posted by kalangkabo:
its really a joke.
or are u talking bird language here?
i will answer the last part for ur better understanding.
yes, i did talk to that person who is screaming etc and together with a security guard. in the end, he just F'ed the guard, disrespected his authority as a security personnel in the compound and without a car decal displaying the disabled sign, i told him off. -
right! i'm glad we agree on our differences...Originally posted by tiggersgd:i think u have ur stand, so do i. but then i can't help u if u choose to bend words (esp on the robbers part and pls dun be so goon in thinking one can talk to robbers in action...:roll its really a joke. or are u talking bird language here?

i was wondering how to wrap this up without causing too much animosity
i think the estate management could and should wheel-clamp the bugger
but that's just my opinion...
P.S. you were the one who started on the "robber" thing. i was talking about theft. but don't mind me... i'm just a bird-talking goon who bends words... -
Chill out. The threadstarter did nothing wrong. In fact what he did is right. If its me I wouldn't dare to do it. Simply a parking at the handicap usually cost him 3 digit fine. Anyway he did a right thing. Unless of cause the car owner is a handicap. If everyone did their part in this world. It will be so much a nicer place. We just need to be more considerate towards those who are living around us. Imagine you are a handicap. Don't you hate people like that.

yeah, i believe the MC has been notified of this driver. but one pt is that he does have an elderly mother that is wheel chair bound. he should really go n apply for the disabled car decal to save loads of unwanted trouble.Originally posted by kalangkabo:right! i'm glad we agree on our differences...

so question here is, if i'm in the same situation wif the thread-starter, i should report him n get him fined $500 or more w/o knowing y he's in the disabled lot?
i can only say, i'm glad i did not resort to quick actions nor hyper'ed emotions to base my judgement upon.
P.S. if u so admits openly ur talking bird language and word bending, then so be it. dun think i like to learn another "foreign" language though...simply not interested. as for the robber thing...pls read ur own reply and mine for better understanding...perhaps u dun even understand in the 1st place n thus ur edited reply in the above post. dun be so emotional. -
well, i'm not denying the threadstarter's right or wrong...its just that i dun understand y there's no contact with his neighbour prior to reporting.Originally posted by banzie:Chill out.

for that matter, any handicap will be furious n disappointed that the designated lot meant for them is taken up by some others not supposedly to be there.
u got it right ...to be considerate and think for others. -
well done Schwing

oh wow...someone commited an offense by parking in a lot meant for the handicapped, what other details do you need? even if the neighbour has a family member who is disabled does not give him the right to park there...my mum is wheelchair bound, that doesn't mean that i can use that as an argument and park in the handicap lot...Originally posted by tiggersgd:first off, we don't really know alot of details. it is nevertheless one sided story and perhaps a selfish and may i even suggest vicious move by the thread starter? and u have been assuming and presuming from the start of your reply to me...how objective can that be?

there are prominent signs at the parking lot, warning of penalty of up to $400 if the lots were misused, and yet, he chose to park there...if he was a good neighbour to begin with, he wouldn't have parked in that lot in the first place, and the fact that he brings his lighted cigarette into the lift (not only once) suggested that he is such a selfish person...so, give me one good reason why i should talk to him about it...for all you know, i'll probably be asked to mind my own business, which i think, i have done so for too long...and maybe the next time i'm in the lift and he tries to enter with his lighted cigarette, i'll tell him off... -
1st off relax...Originally posted by Schwing:oh wow...someone commited an offense by parking in a lot meant for the handicapped, what other details do you need? even if the neighbour has a family member who is disabled does not give him the right to park there...my mum is wheelchair bound, that doesn't mean that i can use that as an argument and park in the handicap lot...

second, it says alot isn't it? (see in red) if there's a family member that is disabled, he is entitled to the lot, provided he has the decal which was not stated by u.
anyway, u have done what u have done. so why bother with the rest? u know ur own motive and thus answer for it. all i can say is i'm glad my nieghbours who drove aren't like that...thankfully.
i end wif this. i have said my piece.
cheers. -
lets report healthy, perfectly normal people who use handicapped toilets
better still, lock them in

good job

wha laoz,who put the parking fine on my BMW??
me no choice that night,got stomach ache and diarroea and i eat 10 bottles of poh chye yun oso cannot help -
well done schwing, if he's done it often, then he deserves it. if he's got a good reason, let him appeal. as for talking to the neighbour as some suggested, apparently this guy has long past caring, you'll probably end up in some internet video clip showing 2 idiots fighting....Originally posted by Schwing:well, i reported a case of illegal parking...you see, there is this neighbour of mine, who ever so often, parks at the handicap lot, esp during sundays...
i keep telling myself that if i were to see it parked there the next time, i'll report to the town council...until last sunday, i was washing my car in the morning, there it was, parked at the handicap lot, even though there was ample lot available...i told myself to give that guy until i've finished washing before i report him...so, about an hour or so later, i finished washing the car, he still haven't shifted his car...must have parked there since last nite...
so i walked up to the handicap lot, took down the number to call, and reported it...they asked for the location and license plate and den i went off to buy breakfast...when i returned, i saw the parking warden next to the car, issued a ticket, and rode off...i went home and told my wife about it, and she chided me for not doing so earlier...i swear i'll report him everytime i see him park there again...oh, and this owner always smokes in the lift...another reason to report him...haha... -
Originally posted by tiggersgd:no. but i am just wondering y can't he being a neighbour approach the guy and talked to him abt this? what he did is simply...
evil. -
Where I had my dinner earlier, there were lots of cars parked on double yellow line or cheated on their parking coupons. I had a good mind to snap photos of their cars and send them to Premas or the TP. Didn't do it because I wasn't sure I wanted to get into confrontations with the owners. This thread just gave me the courage and the moral guidance. Next time, I'll post the photos of the parking cheats on parkingidiots.

Gd job!! See if u can do other neigbouring carparks too!!

I have to agree with the bear on this.Originally posted by the Bear:antoh, a typical singaporean would be apathetic and allow another person to be beaten to death and not lift a finger to help... nor even call the cops because they "don't want anything to do with it"
your statement is... cynical.. in all the bad things about the word...
what the person has done is correct, and should be done by ALL.. yet, i see a lot of people heaping crap onto him...
btw, to the people who hail and promote apathy, i would think your tune would quickly change if you were disabled and that lot was taken...
A typical singaporean couldn't be bothered about someone parking in the disabled lot.
in fact, a typical singaporean couldn't be bothered if he or she parked in a disabled lot.
2 thumbs up for thread starter! -
