Does anyone have any suggestions on how to escalate unresolved HDB maintenance? I reported birds nesting in the roof (I'm on the top floor), standing water and a leaking roof. The town council maintenance guy rescheduled twice, and on the third time was a no-show and didn't even bother to call! I can't keep taking off work for this guy who doesn't even show up, and I can't let such important maintenance matters go unfixed. Anyone have any suggestions for escalating this issues?

Does any know of a good furniture maker? By that I mean one that can work with hardwood and reproduce barrister bookcases from plans. Most of the 'custom' furniture makers I've found don't do much more than cut cabinets to fit a kitchen. Barossa used to do this kind of work, but he's recently retired.

Has anyone here put a lock on their outside electrical meter? Just finished a renovation and in the process of installing an alarm system and security cameras, and noticed that the entire units electrical supply can be easily turned off from the outside. Kinda defeats the purpose of having an alarm if it can be turned off by a potential thief. In fact all the electrical boxes in the block are the same. Just walk by, flip the switch and you've turned off the power to any unit. It looks like small locks could be fitted to the covers. Not the best solution, but better than nothing. Anyone else tackled this problem before?
