Three youths allegedly pushed a motorcycle into a lift of a Housing and Development Board (HDB) block along Teban Gardens Road, took it up 11 floors, and parked it outside their friend’s unit.
The incident occurred on April 11 and was recorded on video, which was later shared online, drawing criticism for the trio’s actions.
The video footage showed one of the youths pushing a red motorcycle into the lift, while another pressed the lift button. A third person filmed the event from the side. Upon reaching the 11th floor, they pushed the motorcycle out and parked it outside a flat, seemingly as a prank.
The owner of the HDB flat involved, speaking to Shin Min Daily News, revealed that the three male youths were friends of her eldest son and were not residents of the HDB block.
She explained, “On the day of the incident, they left after a gathering with my son. I did not know that they were fixing the motorcycle downstairs, not to mention their subsequent acts.” The owner further claimed that the motorcycle belonged to one of the youths, and the three of them filmed the video for fun. She promptly apologised to her neighbour after realising that the video captured her neighbour’s unit.
Following the incident, the three youths apologised to the flat owner, and their parents were also informed. They promised that their children would not repeat such mistakes in the future. While the owner has forgiven them, she emphasised that the youths should be held accountable for their actions.
