Thin walls: From neighbours to enemies


In many Malaysian homes, a not-so-silent thief is stealing the joy out of domestic life. Whether in landed or strata homes, the sound of heavy footsteps, loud conversations, blaring television programmes, or the whirr of a blender in the morning can feel like a permanent broadcast – one never asked for.

Hearing what neighbours are doing in the sanctity of one’s own home is like having an unwanted roommate, living with someone and hearing their daily life but not wanting to be there.
