When it rains, it pours.

For one long-suffering family in Ang Mo Kio, what started out as a ceiling leak in their kitchen soon took over the rest of their home.

Three years and numerous repairs later, the ceiling leaks in their four-room flat are still a problem, Lianhe Wanbao said in a report on Thursday (Oct 1) detailing their plight.

The family of six has been staying in the flat at Ang Mo Kio Avenue 4 for about 19 years, the patriarch of the family, a 55-year-old deliveryman, told the Chinese evening daily.

The leakage problems in the flat, which is on the topmost floor of the block, started three years ago, he recalled.

“First, it was the kitchen ceiling that started leaking. When we discovered the leak, we notified HDB and the town council and they quickly sent people to fix the ceiling leak.”

But mere months after the initial repairs, the leaking started again — this time in their living room.

Despite six rounds of repairs, the leaks have not stopped, the homeowner said.
