My experience>> Last year this time, a contractor guy asked to come in for a check in our house.(Clementi Ave 2 .. same block with where JJ Lim lived)
At the time, my dad was alone , he tot this guy was from HDb and let him went in our house to do the checking before i came back from work minutes later.
When i was back my dad almost sign to do the laundry extension (Including a steel chain block thing to elevate the steel bars to dry wet clothes) that cost around 700 bucks "after discount".
This guy sounded professional and talked like HDB people. When i asked for his ID he then explained he do repair for HDB blocks and he had checked that our house needs some upgrading to do.
I tot thrice and explained we do not need this device and at once stop my dad from signing. That guy didn't want to leave and continued to solicit.
Seconds later i turned to my dad to explained that this is spending unnecessary money. My dad was confused as he (age 65) still think its HDb's idea to install the extra thing.
When i again nicely reject the insisting offer from that guy, he started to criticise me as not filial to my dad.
When i was starting to pissed off and invited him to get out of the house, that guy starts to pinpoint my character and cursed me for wasting his time. Such contractor lowly tactics muz be reported~~
Hope you all won't ever kena this type of contractors ... and me as your future neighbour, i swear to look after your unit 24 hrs with conditions applied (U muz give me present, treat me marken, give my kid tuition as reward)
