SINGAPORE - A Housing Board flat owner who had converted the doorstep of his property into a fish tank for his koi carp has dismantled the tank, after his appeal to keep it was rejected.
HDB had said in January that the man could not keep the tank because of safety concerns. But he lodged an appeal, after working with Tampines Town Council on measures to address issues raised by the Housing Board. A spokesman added:"Our offer to assist with the dismantling of the tank has been declined by the resident.
It added that this initiative would have to be done separately through a proper process and not by"individual encroachment onto common property".
