Owner charges electric bike for 'free' in void deck

STOMPer lim spotted this electric bike plugged into and charging at the electrical outlet at the void deck of the HDB block. Is this free electricity provided by HDB, the STOMPer asks.

He commented in an email (July 09):

"I was surprised to see this electric bike get a free battery charge at the void deck of the HDB block.

"It seems that HDB do not care to lock the electrical outlet."

Parking at the void deck is also free. Btw have anyone see a summon ticket issue to a motor bike at the void deck?

Well that's no sign or law saying he can't do that. Beside as xHamsterbabyx pointed out, he paid his taxes and has every right to access public facility.

Do you pay tax ?

1. You do
2. Is there a signage that you are not allow to use electricity from the source?
3. Was the electricity source sealed and was it illegally pry open?
4. Answer Yes to No.3 , The person who is doing this needs to be reprimanded and charged for displaying a disregard to public property
5. Answer No. to No.3 , If there is no clear cut guidelines about using HDB Eletical sockets then Yes he is allowed to do that.
He probably paid his taxes and public facilities should be available to him. Whether he abuses it or not is another story.
