Class 95 Producer Confronts Man Trying To Enter Her Home While It's Under Renovation; He Says He Was "Curious"

Is walking into other people's homes while they're undergoing renovation becoming a thing now?

Earlier this month, footage of people allegedly entering a Woodlands HDB flat under renovation without permission made the rounds online, with some even seen walking around and taking photos.

Now, Class 95 radio producer Lee Yoo Jin has shared a similar encounter at her own new home.

Yoo Jin was alone filming content inside the flat, which is currently undergoing renovation, when she heard someone trying to open her front door.

According to Yoo Jin, the person outside appeared to be struggling with the unlocked door.

Which is unsettling enough. Even more so when you're alone inside.

When Yoo Jin went over to check, she found a man standing outside.

"Excuse me!" Jin can be heard saying in her Instagram Reel.

The man immediately apologised and tried to explain himself.

Yoo Jin wasn't having it, replying: "Yeah, no, that's still not right,"

According to text Yoo Jin added to the video, the man apparently said he was curious because several homes nearby were undergoing renovation.

Umm... Since when did “under renovation” mean “open house”?

Yoo Jin questioned him about it too.

"No, I feel like that is still not right. You shouldn't try to enter homes that are still renovating, right?”

"Like, do you go around opening people's homes like that?" she asked.

As it turns out, the man was apparently a guest of Yoo Jin's neighbour, who was holding a housewarming at the time.

Yoo Jin described her neighbour as friendly and said he even invited her over to join them.

Her neighbour also apologised on his guest's behalf, which Yoo Jin admitted made her feel bad because he'd been so nice about the situation.

Her takeaway from the whole encounter was considerably simpler: "Anyway, lock your homes y'all!"

When contacted by 8days.sg, Yoo Jin declined to comment further on the incident.

However, Yoo Jin's followers noticed the déjà vu too.

"What's with all these people entering people's house that are under renovation? How kaypoh and entitled must you be to do that?" wrote one.

Another praised Yoo Jin for confronting the man, commenting, "Wtheck!!! Props to u for confronting him… I'm glad you are safe."

One commenter also claimed they'd experienced something similar involving a couple who said they were property agents.

But perhaps this is one rule that shouldn't need explaining in the first place.

Want to kaypoh someone's renovation? Ask first.

Entering someone's home without permission can also have legal consequences. Under Singapore law, unauthorised entry into a dwelling may constitute an offence depending on the circumstances.
