here goes my long-winded post (i dun even bother if kpo colleagues 'spying' on me while typing)..
i hv bn in touched with my town council since 2005 & this matter was pending until two mths back i hv to approach them again ... finally after numerous phone calls/email communications, the officers came to do site visit tis morning.... WHO KNOWS....HIAZ....... tat stupid neighbour at 10th floor didnt hang wet laundry!!!!! i tink they hanged their laundry as early as 6+ cos water finished dripping, if not, cud b ysterday raining, they hvnt washed their new loads of laundry, those hanged out were ysterdays lot. i was sooooo mad.... we cant catch them red-handed cos they hv been hanging wet laundry on all the 5 bamboo poles all the while!!! & wat made it worst was 3 of the officers came tis morning including the most senior one!!!! they said they monitor fm downstair for half hour b4 coming to my unit. infact on 23/6 the lady officer said she came but at noon time to speak to tat stupid unit & other units... i told her tat defeats the purpsoes cos by noon, the water not dripping. & tis 10th floor Owner still dare to tell the town council lady they used washing machine to spin-dry their clothes alr. after 23/6, everyday tis 10th floor still hang out v wet laundry... how can u squeeze-dry your jeans, bermuda, bra, silky or swimming costume material with bare hand?? i went up to this unit last month for 4x, each time the maids denied and the very last time i insisted she let me in the house, they v smart, they re-adjust the bamboo to the side of the window, which is v dangerously, anytime will drop downstair if got strong wind. the maids told me is 12th floor hanging wet laundry, tat day is true, 12th floor hang 1 bamboo abit wet, i told her i'll go straightup to infm 12th floor, but they (10th floor) also MUST NOT hang wet laundry, esp sat/sun/public holiday i got ppl at home not working, we also want to enjoy the sunshine & hang clothes!!! the 12th floor also an old lady, she said she handwashed her clothes, 'bo-bian' sure abit dripping!!! i told her can can wash, but cannot hang wet clothes, she got rectified this problem. but each time i tell 10th floor, the maids will 're-arrange' the laundry, hanging those wet one towards their window, but it did not help cos water will be collected on the trellis & still drip down!!! one of the family members told me (a teen age lady) said their washing machine is for heavy laundry only like curtains/bedsheets/comforter! i verified tis w the maids when I went up to tell them stopped hanging wet clothes & they told me same thing they r not allowed to use washing machine for home clothes! everytime i went up, the owner went market (a big size old lady.... she's v fierce speaking teochew, she's staying w two of her grandchildren (teen age) with two maids in the house), the rest of the children do come back regularly to visit her..... they all driving big cars, executives level, one of her SIL is a pilot... i cant imagine they r sooooo well to do, still cant afford the maid to use the washing machine???
karrie..remember i asked ur maid to help write in 'tagalogue', i even asked my colleague to help write in 'bahasa' saying please dun hang out wet clothing (cos i duno the maid is filipino or indo)... end up they are filipino, i got showed them the paper & they still doing the same thing!! last year i also went to those 'MP meet residents' session, but the Q was super long, the volunteery officer there who took down particulars/reporting matter told me to approach police might help (ie, we wont get to see MP unless they filter the case 1st)... infact, i called my branch neigbourhood police one sunday morning cos i really cant tahan cannot hang out my clothes, after putting me on line for their chking with snr officers, they said cant do anyting & tis need town council to handle!! my hb said shift house is the oni solution!!! my colleage said go & buy the unit on top of them & drip water on them!!! their suggestion all sooooo ridiculous & 'xing bu tong'!!!!! tell u, i'm sooooooooo angry!!! tis town council officers might think i bluff them!!! they told me tis morning, they'll try to come again next week to see... but i doubt their words cos it was after numerous 'chasing' tat they come today.... really wonder wat else can i do... may b i shd go engage PI but is sooo costly!! i cant tolerate tis ppl & esp when i see sooooo many clothes i need to hang esp on weekend!!! AGGGGRRRRR...
