SINGAPORE – A Housing Board inspection at a rental flat in Yishun due to complaints of a “cooking smell” was prompted by allegations that it was being used for illegal food catering operations, the board clarified on Friday (Oct 11).
Last Thursday, Facebook user Aspa M Hatta posted a photo of a service card left by HDB staff at the rental flat on the same day. The slip told the flat occupant to call an HDB officer, citing only “cooking smell” as the reason.
Replying to queries by The Straits Times on the matter, HDB said on Friday that its inspection also found no indication of food catering activities in the flat.
The flat involved is at Block 461B Yishun Avenue 6, and is understood to be rented to the female cousin of the Facebook user.
The user, who wanted to be known only as Mr Aspa, told ST last Thursday: “We were quite shocked when we saw the slip. My cousin had not been home in the past few days. Now we are hesitant to even cook instant noodles.”
