A video of a woman tossing shoes from the common corridor of a third-floor flat in Yishun has netizens speculating about the reason behind her actions.
The 50-second clip, uploaded by a TikTok user on Monday (March 27), shows the woman flinging what looks like several pairs of shoes down onto the first floor.
One of the shoes even lands inside a joss paper burning bin on the ground floor.
She later also retrieves a white plastic bag and throws it down the block.
"Only in Yishun," the TikTok user wrote in the caption.

Since it was posted, the video has racked up more than 100,000 views and garnered more than 300 comments from netizens.
One even joked that the woman "must have caught [her] husband cheating."
Another commenter called her actions "killer littering".
According to the National Environmental Agency, there was an average of 1,500 tickets issued for high-rise littering between 2017 to 2021.
NEA explained that littering from residential flats is a serious offence as it "poses a danger to the public, dirties the environment, and threatens public hygiene."
Under the Environmental Public Health Act 1987, any individual who commits a littering offence is liable on conviction to a court fine of up to $2,000 for a first conviction, $4,000 for a second conviction and $10,000 for the third and subsequent convictions.
