After Thai police captured a professional assassin living in a mountain treehouse, Singaporeans have expressed overwhelming jealousy at his "eco-friendly, minimalist lifestyle."

The 51-year-old contractor of death had been successfully evading authorities while enjoying a 360-degree forest view that would cost $4,500 a month in Orchard Road.

Local property agents have already begun scouting for similar "vertical rustic assets" to market to desperate millennials.

"Wah lau, no need pay rent, got natural ventilation, and the landlord won't kope your deposit?" remarked one local office worker.

"This one not hideout, this one is luxury glamping sia! If can have gun also, even better for dealing with toxic colleagues."

Experts suggest the only mistake the hitman made was leaving his "high-floor unit" for snacks.
