I have been staying in my estate for about 4 years. Ever since I moved in, I’m not sure for any reason my neighbour living opposite me who is in her late 60-70s has the habit of ‘watching/spying?’ over us every single time we open our doors to throw the rubbish in the rubbish chute (we live in hdb) or leaving our house..?

I’m not sure if this is normal. There have been many times even up till now when we are leaving our house and our neighbour will start spraying insect spray/sanitizer spray (the smell is so overwhelming to the point that we cannot stand the stench/start coughing etc).

There were also instances where she would verbally call us words/names like ‘wicked/evil’ and the thing is that we have never associated with her before.

Additionally, she lives with her sister whom is not mentally stable (just to provide some context ) and the sister herself also calls us Hokkien vulgarities but we decided to brush it aside because we understand that she’s living alone with her sister with barely any relatives and we did not want to cause a din.

Hence, we actually consulted grass root leaders to assist us/residential leaders but the situation still persists.

There was once we made a police report and after gathering information from the police, we understand that the neighbour will stop harassing us. But such harassment kept persisting.

She also adds on how previous neighbour (who stayed in my apartment before I was the owner of the house) would offer her sister biscuits and drinks (the sister does not have a key or smth, so she would wait outside the house) while the neighbour herself was not home.

She said that we didn’t do like what the previous owner did. In my mind, (not that I’m mean or anything) I was just wondering are we obliged to do that? What should we do?

FYI. My unit is facing 2 units, one of it is the neighbour as mentioned earlier and the other unit is a group of friends/colleagues that are co-staying together.

From what I observed, they have never faced such treatment before, so I’m not sure why is it only my family facing such?
