On May 21, Muhammad Farhan posted a Facebook update about something he saw in his lift at Tampines.

Just a heads up for those who find maggots, or a whole squirming bunch of them, a bit off-putting, that's exactly what you're going to see.

Here is the sight that greeted Farhan.

Here's his Facebook post.

Talking to Mothership about this particular incident, Farhan said the lift had smelt weird for the "past few days".

The video itself was taken about three days ago, May 18.

In response to Mothership's queries, the Tampines Town Council says they are aware of the situation, and is "in touch with the resident". They are also currently looking into this.

When Mothership went down to the block at around 2.40pm, and the lift was indeed rather pungent, there was already a man taking out the CCTV and appeared to be cleaning it.

Here is what we saw:
