One of Singapore's most storied houses at Sembawang Hills Estate in Upper Thomson where skeletal remains of two sisters were found about 10 years apart will be put up for sale by auction by the Government next Tuesday (Feb 27).

The owners were known to be a pair of sisters -- Madam Pearl Tan Leen Hee, a former civil servant, and Madam Ruby Tan. They would have been 81 and 68 respectively in 2006.

In 2006, National Environment Agency officers entered the house for a mosquito check after neighbours complained of mosquito breeding, where workers found a human skeleton in a toilet.

9 years later in September 2015, part of the roof collapsed and a contractor was hired by the Building and Construction Authority to erect a temporary roof. 

A worker clearing rubble from a bedroom found another set of bones - a human skull and a thigh bone.

The house in Jalan Batai in Sembawang Hills Estate, where an adult human skull and a thigh bone were found when a worker was clearing rubble at the house.

Almost a decade ago, a human skeleton was found on top of a toilet in the same house.

Neither set of skeletal remains could be identified as DNA could not be obtained from the bone samples.
