75-year-old grandfather allegedly locked out of HDB flat he paid for, sleeps rough for a month
He allegedly spent about a month sleeping outside, using cardboard as bedding, before another family took him in.
A 75-year-old man in Singapore has been evicted from the HDB flat he fully paid for in cash, despite his name not being on the property. The dispute arose after a disagreement with his 55-year-old daughter, who threw away his belongings and changed the locks. The grandfather, who could not read, reportedly slept rough for about a month before a family took him in.
The family is now trying to find a permanent solution, approaching the Family Service Centre (FSC) and seeking legal advice. Anyone experiencing homelessness in Singapore can call the ComCare hotline for assistance.
