Not again! Mon, Nov 14, 2011 | The New Paper By Teh Jen Lee PEACE at this Woodlands block was shattered once again yesterday when Mr Foo Thin Tak, 62, and his wife, Madam Tham Swee Kheng, 55, went back to their elder son's flat to collect their things. Yet another argument broke out despite police presence. The New Paper reported on Wednesday that the couple had been chased out by their elder son, 33, on Monday, along with their younger son, 27. The elder son had asked them to leave because he was unhappy with the way they used the toilet. He also complained that they did not do household chores. The couple had left with a few bags of things after the son wrote them a cheque for $2,000. After spending two sleepless nights without a roof over their heads, the couple found a room for rent in a Taman Jurong flat. As they are on talking terms with their elder son's wife, they arranged to collect the rest of their things from the Woodlands Drive 60 flat yesterday, reported Lianhe Wanbao. Mr Foo told The New Paper in Cantonese: "Our daughter-in-law said my son did not want us to come back for our things, but she said to come back anyway." The couple decided to ask officers from a nearby police post to accompany them and their younger son because they were worried about what their elder son might do if he saw them. As it turned out, the elder son was present and he refused to open the door when his family arrived at his flat. Instead, he called his younger brother and told him he was willing to let only him into the flat. Although the younger brother was fine with this arrangement, his parents were enraged and this led to a three-hour argument in the corridor outside the flat. Mr Foo's father banged on the door of the flat and shouted: "Don't force us too hard!" Madam Tham said the belongings left in the flat were personal items, like clothes, medicine and McDonald's collectible toys that she wanted to pack herself in case her younger son missed out anything. At one point, the younger son, who works as a security guard, was so frustrated that he threatened to climb over the corridor wall and jump to kill himself but he was stopped by the police. Eventually, the police convinced the parents to wait at the void deck while the younger son went into the flat to pack their things. He took about two hours to finish packing six bags of belongings, after which they took a taxi to their rental room. The New Paper tried to reach the elder son for his comments but calls to his mobile phone went unanswered yesterday. A police spokesman said they received a call about the dispute from one of the family members at 9.55am yesterday. After the police arrived, those involved were advised to settle the matter amicably and they complied.
