‘You can’t sleep there, sir’: Video of man lying on road in Tanglin leaves netizens baffled
A video of a man lying on the road in Tanglin after facing oncoming traffic has gone viral, leaving netizens baffled at the stunt.
The clip, shared on the Singapore Road Vigilante Facebook page on 12 May, shows a bespectacled man dressed in a tank top, shorts, sports shoes, and with what looks like a cast on his left arm.
As the camcar approaches him and decelerates, the man glares intensely before lying down on the road for about eight seconds. He then gets up and heads to the sidewalk.
But just as the camcar was about to move off, the man gets back on the road and walks across it before disappearing from view.
Based on the surroundings, the incident took place along Grange Road in Tanglin, near the Beverly Hill condominium.
