SINGAPORE, Jan 15 (The Straits Times/ANN): Since last September, Dr Dennis Kwek has been receiving parcels at his condominium address in Holland Village that he neither ordered nor expected.

The parcels, all of which contain small screws and wall plugs, were sent to him from addresses in China and Malaysia. He has been receiving one parcel every three weeks.
