“I was watching television at the time and I saw the workers come down,” said the owner. “I didn’t stop them or argue because I didn’t want to cause any trouble, but my plants are all gone now.'

Workers rappelled down from the rooftop of a Jurong West Housing Board block on Tuesday morning to trim overgrown plants which had taken over the exterior of a ninth-storey flat.

“I was watching television at the time and I saw the workers come down,” the 74-year-old said, adding that he had been growing the plants since he moved into the flat nearly 40 years ago. The spokesman said: “The town council, together with other relevant government agencies, had urged the resident on multiple occasions to do proper housekeeping, and remove the plants if necessary.

When The Straits Times visited Mr Kang’s home on Wednesday, photographs taken from his travels were plastered on every surface of his living room walls. Mr Kang had told Shin Min Daily News earlier that his plants were similarly trimmed about two or three years ago, and believed someone had complained then.
