Salt * Wet * Fish

A very interesting post by Dr. Minority for those of us who are lucky or unlucky enough to have your flats going enbloc, but you have a nasty experience. Er… of course this does not apply if you are the one bullied other owners into submission.

Except from Enblocing Singapore

We’ve heard this before, and maybe even experienced it ourselves.

Name calling.
Bullying.
Shouting for you to sit down and shut up.
Telling you off, saying you had better stop talking because people have better things to do.

No, I’m not talking about a teacher scolding students. I’m talking about an Enbloc EOGM. But truth be told, the idea’s the same - someone of perceived ‘greater’ authority talking you down, like you’re an idiot and what you say is insulting the audience.

We’ve been told, in recent EOGMs, the following have occurred:-

* Owners not allowed to speak or ask questions during an EOGM
* Owners not allowed to vote at an EOGM
* Owners told off by other owners, or SC members, to shut up
* Owners even threatened (verbal and gestural means) to stop talking and leave the room
* Owners not allowed to query the SC, nor will the SC bother to respond
