A resident in Choa Chu Kang was caught on camera berating a foreign worker performing maintenance on an HDB block.In a video posted on SG Daily's TikTok, the man filmed the worker laying a makeshift path outside his flat, asking the worker whether his supervisor had instructed him to do the work at 12pm. “Did your supervisor ask you to do it? Yes or no?" He asked.He then demanded to know how he was supposed to leave his house to have lunch.

After laying a makeshift path on the floor with planks, the worker moved away from the resident without responding.
The resident then followed the worker to the lift and continued berating him.
"It's really damn stupid," the resident concluded.
The video's caption stated that the resident claimed to be "stuck" in his unit for an hour due to maintenance work.
Lack of awareness?
Commenters on the video slammed the resident and called him entitled.
One user also pointed out that notices for such work would have been put up, and therefore it was "just lack of awareness on the person's part".
In response to Mothership's queries, Chua Chu Kang Town Council shared that enhancement works were carried out at Block 395 Bukit Batok West Avenue 5 on Nov. 13.
Such works included applying a thin layer of floor screed to the corridors.
A week before the scheduled works, notices were displayed in advance at the block's lift lobby, informing residents that access to the corridors would be restricted.

A reminder notice was also delivered to each unit in the block to ensure every household received the alert, said Chua Chu Kang Town Council.
In addition to previous reminders, the contractor went door-to-door on the day of the works to personally notify residents, reminding them to stay in their homes during the works.
The works would take around an hour.

No concerns were raised by other residents, the town council said, and the floor screeding for the entire block was completed smoothly within the day.
