SINGAPORE - A 62-year-old man found himself locked in his own flat yesterday afternoon, when he awoke from his nap and found himself locked in. The incident occurred at Blk 92, Henderson Road at about 2pm. The man's flat was being repossessed by the HDB, as he had failed to pay rent on the one-room unit for four years, reported the Shin Min Daily News. But HDB officials did not realise that the man, Mr Liao, was at home, when they sealed his home and stuck a notice on his front door. Helpful neighbours had to pass him food and water after they realised what had happened, as there is no running water nor electricity in his flat. When reporters arrived, police were already at the scene, speaking to Mr Liao. HDB officials finally arrived at about 4.30pm to unlock the gate. They told reporters they had knocked on the door several times but received no response. Neighbours also told them there was no one home, before they proceeded to seal the flat. HDB says it will review its procesess to prevent the recurrence of such an incident.
