I've been 2 years lives in sg, originally I'm from indonesia. In Indo I get use to lives in private home (landed house), here in sg I lives in HDB flat somewhere in jurong. I got 3 neighbours that got kids member. Almost everyday between 3-7pm their kids like to play around the corridor in front of my corridor, or if not, infront of the staircase. Playing basketball or running arround and sometimes screaming and shouting. I'm a bit annoyed, but for this 2 years I just try to be patient coz I dont want to make it a problem with their parents. But after the upgrading lift finished recently, the corridor infront of the lift and the staircase more wide and large, make them more often to play there. I tried to talk to them before, asked them if playing there not shouting or running arround with loud thumb thumb, that make my dog, a jack russell(a very active dog), barking lot of loud. And I can say they like to make my dog bark, everytime my dog bark they also make sound like meow or woof woof. But kids are always kids, they still like to shout and playing there. I'm just a house wife, so after I finished my house chores I spend my time to read books, watching tv, or do handycraft like paper tole. But I really cant focus on my book with too much noisy, even sometimes I cant take a nap after do my house works, see tv also not comfortable with this noise. Anybody can help me out with the solution? Or tell me, is this problem are common in sg? First of all, I rather scared if talk again and again about this to the parents that will make them think I dont have toleration to kids. From this 3 families got a parents that I cant talk with, coz they are from china and cant speak english well, and their kids very noisy one compare the other two families kids.
Can anybody tell me what to do, or tell me in this case, can I lodge complaint?
