A couple, barred from their flat for being a nuisance to their upstairs neighbour, have been warned by the State Courts and the Law Ministry that they could face a fine and jail time if they insist on defying the court order.

The Community Disputes Resolution Tribunal subsequently barred Madam Iwa and Mr Low Bok Siong from their home for a month, with effect from Monday - the first Exclusion Order it has issued.
