When interviewed by The Straits Times, Seah Kian Peng, who is the MP of the area, said the dead man was not his resident. Details of the man remain unknown.

However, the MP did acknowledge that there is “a very small number” of rough sleepers in his constituency. They often have their own homes but opt to sleep on the streets for various reasons, such as family disputes, he said.

The MP gave an example of a woman who chooses to sleep rough in Serangoon as it is nearer to her workplace, even though she has a home.

MP Seah added that his grassroots leaders will try to engage these people and offer help if needed.

They also work with social service offices and other government agencies to follow up on these cases, he claimed.

A couple also told The Straits Times that they saw the man sleeping at the void deck of the block almost every night for the past two weeks before he was found dead.
