Photos and video shared on social media showed the interior of the small room filled with garbage, with numerous black bags tied up and stacked near a bin. The footage quickly drew strong reactions from viewers, many expressing shock at the apparent state the room had been left in.

The post, shared by a Facebook user under the name ‘Princess Jai Suay’, described the poster’s disbelief at encountering such conditions firsthand.

“I saw others post… I never thought I’d experience this myself,” the user wrote. “Even a small bedroom is this dirty… How can you live in society? I’m speechless.”

The images sparked a wave of criticism online, with many commenters calling for action and condemning the behaviour of the previous tenant believed to have occupied the room.

Some urged the property owner to address the issue immediately, while others questioned how anyone could live in such conditions, labelling the situation “disgusting” and “outrageous”.

The incident has since fuelled broader discussion on social media about tenant responsibility and maintaining basic hygiene in shared living environments.

It remained unclear whether any formal complaint had been filed or if action would be taken against the former occupant.
