Aiyoh, hold your kopi and sit down first! Just when you think you’ve seen everything on Singapore roads, one local youth has officially taken public transport navigation to an extreme level.
A video posted on Instagram by @sgfollowsall has gone viral across local social media, featuring a Singaporean teenager treating a basic two-wheeled kick-scooter like an all-terrain F1 machine. Forget peaceful park connector rides or slow commuting; this boy decided Singapore’s urban infrastructure was his personal, high-stakes stunt park.
The Jackie Chan-Style Stunt Tour
In the short clip, the youth pulls off a series of high-risk maneuvers across several prominent public spots that left viewers gasping:
- The 2-Meter Carpark Drop: He rolls straight off the concrete overhang of an HDB multi-storey carpark entrance, plunging about two meters straight down onto the driveway below without missing a beat or losing his balance.
- The Escalator Divider Slide: At Tanjong Pagar MRT station, he hops onto the polished metal divider between two busy, moving escalators, sliding down the center ramp at high speed on his scooter like it was a playground slide.
- Staircase Bounding: He casually gap-jumps down long flights of public outdoor staircases, slamming hard onto paved footpaths with zero suspension.
- On-Road Navigation: To top off the chaos, he takes his non-motorised kick-scooter onto actual busy roads, riding right alongside moving traffic and cars.
Netizen Panic vs. “At Least He Touched Grass”
Naturally, the comment section exploded into a full-blown Singaporean debate overnight.
One camp immediately panicked, raising valid concerns about personal safety and public infrastructure. Comments poured in warning that one miscalculation could mean broken bones, severe spinal injuries, or damage to public facilities paid for by taxpayers. Others pointed out that riding non-active mobility devices on the road poses a genuine hazard to drivers.
However, the plot twist came from another group of netizens who actually defended the boy’s antics. Their logic? “Wah, at least he is going outside to touch grass, exercise, and build a real skill! Better than sitting indoors 24/7 like a zombie doom-scrolling TikTok till his eyes pop out!”
The Stuntman Claps Back
While netizens were busy arguing and typing out paragraphs in the comments, the scooter rider himself decided to join the thread and drop a direct response to all his critics:
“I’m a trained professional, I know what I’m doing. Nothing was damaged and no one was hurt; you guys should make use of your time better.”
Sibei steady! Telling the whole of Singapore to mind their own business while he scoots off into the sunset.
Is He Actually Breaking Singapore Laws?
While he claims to be a “trained professional,” local enforcement agencies like the LTA and the Police don’t give stunt exemptions for public spaces. In fact, his viral video essentially serves as a video portfolio of potential legal infractions under Singapore law:
- Riding a Kick-Scooter on the Road: Under the Road Traffic Act and Active Mobility Act, non-motorised kick-scooters are strictly banned from roads. First-time offenders can face a fine of up to $2,000 and/or imprisonment for up to 3 months.
- Reckless/Dangerous Riding: Jumping off carpark overhangs and sliding down MRT escalators endangers public safety. Under the Active Mobility Act, reckless riding carries fines up to $5,000 and/or up to 6 months in jail.
- Public Nuisance & Rash Act: Under Sections 268/290 of the Penal Code, performing high-risk jumps near active driveways or pedestrian zones can lead to additional court fines or charges for rash acts.
- Vandalism or Property Damage: Under the Vandalism Act or Miscellaneous Offences Act, scuffing or damaging public structures (like escalator dividers or HDB ledge finishes) risks fines up to $2,000, jail time, and paying for repair costs.
Uncle’s Take: Skill Got, But Don’t Play Play
Look, nobody can deny the boy has impressive balance, guts, and aerial control. But in Singapore, posting evidence of yourself breaking traffic rules and jumping off carpark structures is just inviting a visit from authority officers or an emergency ride to Tan Tock Seng Hospital.
Skill is skill, but safety first lah. Next time, go to Somapah or Somerset Skatepark to do flip tricks properly—don’t end up paying thousands in fines or making the news for the wrong reasons!
