Wah lau eh, order one more round of Kopi-O Gao, grab extra kaya toast, and sit down properly. Every day we see weird, funny news in Singapore, but this 33-year-old fellow, Mohammad Sharulnaim Miswan, really set a whole new world record for “doing maximum effort for zero reward.”

This brother literally went from lurking behind potted plants like a budget National Geographic cameraman, to playing a criminal mastermind, to posing as an undercover secret agent—and ultimately ended up straight in Changi Prison. Let’s break down this multi-part Singaporean comedy-tragedy step by step.

Act 1: The Rooftop Cameraman & The Clinic Ambush

It all started at 1:00 AM on January 15, 2024. Sharulnaim was taking a casual midnight stroll at a multi-storey carpark’s rooftop garden when he spotted a 35-year-old woman and a 39-year-old man engaging in some late-night “extramarital cardio.”

Now, normal people would turn around, walk away, and pretend they saw nothing. But Sharulnaim? No lah, where got so simple! He decided to unleash his inner Steven Spielberg. He hid behind some leafy potted plants, shifting from spot to spot like a ninja just to get the best angle, and recorded five separate videos—making sure their faces were fully in frame and high-definition.

Did he delete them after his small-time peeping tom moment? Of course not. He kept the clips in his phone like a high-value bargaining chip.

Fast forward nearly four months to May 6, 2024. The victim took her special-needs son to a clinic for a checkup. Sharulnaim—who somehow tracked her location down—spotted her in the waiting room.

1. While she was waiting for her child’s medication, he approached her, introduced himself, and dragged her out to his car to “talk.”
2. Inside his car, he whipped out his phone and flashed a crisp screenshot of the rooftop video.
3. He threatened to upload it online or send it straight to the police unless she cooperated.
4. The poor mother, panicked and desperate, pleaded with him and offered $300 cash to delete the clip on the spot.
5. Sharulnaim scoffed, said $300 was “too low for market price,” and tried to play legal expert by claiming she faced months in jail and a $5,000 fine for public indecency if the video got out.

He started negotiating like a bazaar salesman: he wanted $2,000, then dropped to $1,500, then finally landed on $1,000 CASH PLUS a demand that she have sex with him in a carpark. Alamak, bro, you think this one ala-carte menu at coffee shop is it? Pick and choose summore!

The woman pretended to play along, agreeing to pay $1,300 by the following day just to escape his car safely. But after talking to her partner, she did the smartest thing possible: she called the police immediately.

Act 2: Supermarket Harassment & The “We Are Family!” Defense

When the police hauled Sharulnaim in for investigation under charges of extortion, any normal person with half a brain cell would stay quiet, hire a proper lawyer, and pray hard.

Not Sharulnaim! His brain went on full holiday.

In September 2024, while actively under police investigation, he ran into the victim’s sister at a local supermarket. He literally cornered her in the aisle and demanded she convince the victim to withdraw the police report.

A month later in October, he spotted the victim at the same supermarket again and went full K-drama actor:

• He begged for forgiveness on the spot, crying that he was the sole breadwinner of his family.
• He dramatically claimed he was going to end his own life if she didn’t drop the charges.
• He offered to give her money and expensive gifts if she let him go.
• And the absolute crown jewel of his stupidity? He asked her to tell the police that they were actually family members, because his friend told him, “Eh bro, if you tell police you are family, they will usually just drop the case one!”

Wah biang eh! What kind of 200 IQ advice is that?! Naturally, the terrified sister went straight to the police station to file another report against him.

Act 3: The Sequel — “I’m Undercover Police, You Too Pretty!”

Now, you would think after getting caught twice, facing heavy charges, and having the police monitor his every move, he would sit quietly at home, right? WRONG AGAIN.

On February 25, 2025—STILL out on bail and actively being investigated—Sharulnaim was wandering around another multi-storey carpark when lightning struck twice: he caught a second couple (this time in their 20s) having sex inside a parked car.

He snapped a photo, marched up to the vehicle, knocked aggressively on the window, and pretended to be a senior undercover police officer. He started interrogating the terrified young couple, demanding their ages, schools, and ID details, threatening them with massive fines and criminal records.

When the young pair tried to walk away to escape the situation, Sharulnaim took things to a psycho-thriller level:

• He drove his vehicle to block their walking path, cutting them off.
• He rolled down his window, demanded the boyfriend scram, and forced the young woman into his car to “drive her home safely.”
• Once inside, he locked the doors and drove off.
• But instead of acting like a serious extortionist, he started flirting with her, complimenting her looks, asking why she was with her boyfriend, and literally telling her, “You know, you are way too pretty to be dating a guy like him.”

When they finally arrived outside her housing block and saw the boyfriend waiting frantically on the curb, Sharulnaim refused to unlock the child-safety doors, insisting he wouldn’t let her alight until the boyfriend walked out of sight! Power lah, bro really thought he was the main character in a romantic action film.

The Finale: The Courtroom Scolding & The Caning

On August 25, 2026, his long-running circus act officially came to a crashing halt at the State Courts. He pleaded guilty to three core charges: putting a person in fear of harm to commit extortion, obstructing justice, and wrongful confinement—with two additional charges taken into consideration during sentencing.

The scene inside the courtroom was heartbreakingly pathetic. His poor wife was standing at the back of the room, holding their one-month-old newborn baby in her arms, breaking down in tears while surrounded by crying family members.

District Judge Samuel Wee didn’t hold back his words:

“Your actions were premeditated and planned. You know the hurt it has caused your family… I would say it has been most hurtful to your wife. Despite that, she’s still here today. Because of what you did, your children are going to grow up for a period of time without their father.”

The judge forced Sharulnaim to turn around, face the court, look at his crying wife, and realize the true cost of his ridiculous behavior. Before being dragged away by court bailiffs, Sharulnaim was allowed to say a brief goodbye to his newborn baby through a small breathing hole in the glass panel.

The Final Sentence:

• 2 Years and 10 Months’ Jail
• 3 Strokes of the Cane

Final Kopitiam Takeaway

Look at the whole picture. This guy spent over a year playing private investigator, blackmailer, supermarket stalker, and fake undercover cop. In the end, he got $0, got zero extra favors, made a total clown of himself, broke his wife’s heart, and now his backside is going to feel three very sharp, unforgettable reminders from the rotan in Changi!

The moral of the story: If you ever walk past a carpark or a rooftop garden at 1 AM and see people doing funny things… MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS. Go home, sip your hot Kopi-O, turn on Netflix, and go to sleep! Don’t go hiding behind plants, unless you want your next meal served in a prison tray!
