The Housing Development Board has officially launched the ‘Seismic Obliteration’ permit, finally legalising the act of liquefying your neighbour’s internal organs through high-frequency drilling.

Under the new guidelines, homeowners are encouraged to commence heavy hacking at precisely 8:01 AM to ensure that no resident accidentally experiences a moment of peace.

Government spokespeople clarified that the skull-rattling vibrations are a form of mandatory communal bonding, designed to remind citizens that their private space is merely a loud, expensive illusion.

“Wah lao, the hacking so loud until my gold teeth also drop out, but contractor say they got permit so I must diam diam and let them hantam my wall lor,” said local resident Winston Lee.

Authorities have warned that any citizen attempting to muffle the sound with earplugs will be investigated for attempting to obstruct the glorious sounds of national progress.
