For one green-thumbed man in Hougang, caring for his plants is a fulfilling hobby to pass the time.

So, he was understandably furious when the Aljunied-Hougang Town Council allegedly asked him to remove the plants outside his unit.

"I used to have so many more plants here," elderly man told content creator Turf Wars in a TikTok video posted yesterday (Jan 19).

However, the sprightly man is unwilling to go down just like that.

In retaliation to the town council's demands, he said on the video that he is giving them three options.

The first was to ask a reporter to publicise his case.

"How come other people can grow plants but I can't? You don't have to walk very far to see," he said while gesturing at his neighbour's homes.

The second option was that if the town council fines him, he said he'll sue them.

"You fine me, I sue you. See you in court," he said fiercely.

But despite the first two menacing-sounding options, his third was surprisingly a little tamer.

"I'll stop growing plants," he simply said.

"Forget it, anyway, it's just a casual hobby," he explained

In the TikTok comment thread, many netizens pointed out that as long as this man is able to keep his plants neatly, he should be allowed to do so.

Some also said that his plants helped to "beautify the surroundings" too.

This uncle wants to sue so easy meh?   Town Council belongs to which MP leh?
