A court in Singapore has ruled against a woman who allegedly entered her brother’s room at night to clean.
The court her Singapore he forbade a woman to enter her brother’s room as she used to barge in without asking him and even did so.. at odd hours. The younger brother said to court that tensions at home between the two are constant after their sister enters the room in the middle of the night, invading his privacy and preventing him from sleeping.
“I accept that in some circumstances a little brother cleaning another brother’s room is not dangerous. However, in this case things are different,” said the judge, clarifying that, in some cases, what may be considered harmless to some, may be very painful to others.
According to the brother, for the past eight years, his sister has been systematically breaking into his room at night to clean upcompletely disregarding his protests and his need for privacy. “At first, he would come in around 9pm, but then he started arriving at 11pm and sometimes stayed until 4am. Even if he sometimes left early, he would come back in the middle of the night and clean until morning,” he noted.
The younger brother confirmed to the judge his sister’s strange cleaning schedule, adding that his brother often ran to lock the door to his room just to prevent her from entering. However, she rarely took no for an answer and usually found a way to get into the room to do so clean up. When asked why he insisted on it cleans her brother’s room, the woman simply said she “had to.”
She tried to explain that she was cleaning her brother’s room against his will because he didn’t clean it himself and it was quite dirty.
However, the judge rejected her explanation, stating that “both parties are adults and it was not necessary for the sister to impose her own standards of hygiene.”
