Singapore - In a sale dispute turned ugly, the chairman of a Singapore condominium estate was released on bail Thursday after being arrested for gluing residents' doors shut, The Strait Times newspaper reported.

Lee Kok Leong, 61, was believed to have repeatedly harassed residents, vandalized homes, glued residents' mail boxes and keyholes shut and splashed paint on their cars.

The condo's owners are locked in a rift over a collective sale of the 530-unit condo with the vandalism victims being among those not in favour of the sale, the newspaper said.

No charges were laid against Lee, who claimed that he himself was a victim of a mysterious mailbox glue attack. (dpa)
