'Naked sushi' club founder's late and loud parties irk neighbours

A NEW Year's Eve party in the Holland Village neighbourhood caused such a stir that police had to be called in at two in the morning.
It was the sixth time in the past 10 months that Dr Denisa Kera's next-door neighbour, Mr Ivan Loh and his wife, called in the police.
They said the noise was too much to bear.
They are not the only ones who are complaining. At least two other neighbours said they were unhappy over the noise.
According to Mr Loh, Dr Kera's parties - which often last into the wee hours of the morning - caused such a ruckus that his family, which includes his 10-month-old daughter, has trouble sleeping.

But her parties are only part of the problem.
"Even when she plays music or has one or two friends over, we can hear everything from our home.
"That's fine, except that when it goes past 10 or 11 in the nightand we can't sleep," said an exasperated Mr Loh, 41, a photographer.
Dr Kera, 36, who is from Prague, is teaching at the National University of Singapore as an assistant professor at the school's Department of Communications and New Media.
She and co-founder of the Secret Cooks Club, Frenchman Florian Cornu, 26, made headlines last year when they organised a dinner where diners ate sushi off a naked woman.
Secret Cooks Club, which meets once a month with about 20 guests each time, is part of a growing trend which hit the local dining scene over the past couple of years.
The club invites members of the public to sign up and collects donations for the dinners, which have different themes and locations.
Last May's dinner, attended by six professionals who did not know each other, was inspired by Nyotaimori, the Japanese practice of serving sashimi or sushi on the body of a woman, typically naked.
A previous report said that the dinner took place at a private home in Holland Village.
Dr Kera, who lives in Jalan Kuning in Chip Bee Gardens, declined to confirm this yesterday, saying that the club's activities and the dispute with her neighbours were two separate issues.
But she acknowledged that two of the club's dinners were held at her home, a state-owned inter-terrace house managed by landlord JTC Corporation (JTC).
Mr Loh, who has lived in his home for the past seven years and is currently renting it for $3,900 a month, said that problems began in February or March last year.
"It's always been a rather quiet neighbourhood and that's one of the reasons we like living here.
The noise spoils that.
"There were times (when) we heard glass being broken and men railing away outside her home at 6am."
