  "account": "A TikTok video shared by property agent Qidah Fuad has sparked discussion among Singaporeans about the appropriateness of neighbours entering units under renovation without permission. In the video, posted on September 3, Qidah shows the interior of a flat where three individuals, two women and a man, entered the unit while a construction crew was working. The man can be seen taking photographs of the interior, ignoring a camera placed inside the unit. In a follow-up clip, a woman is seen taking photos of the bedroom and kitchen, with a man joining her. The agent's caption questions whether entering someone's house during renovation has become a norm, and highlights potential risks such as items going missing or the possibility of injury. Many viewers shared similar experiences, with some even stating that this has been happening for decades. The article reports that while some suggested reporting the incidents to the police, others pointed out that it's a common practice that has existed since the 1990s.",
