Teo En Ming, a 45-year-old IT consultant, has expressed his intention to run for the upcoming Presidential Election in Singapore. With Senior Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam, entrepreneur George Goh, and ex-teacher Seng Soon Kia already in the race, Teo En Ming joins as another challenger.
In a TikTok video posted on June 29, Teo introduced himself with his full name, “Turritopsis Dohrnii Teo En Ming.” According to a quick Google search, “Turritopsis Dohrnii” is the scientific name for a species of immortal jellyfish.
Teo collected the necessary application forms from the Elections Department on June 27 to formalize his candidacy.
One peculiar aspect of Teo’s campaign is his desire to become the “commander-in-chief” of the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) if elected.
He said in his announcement video on TikTok that he aims to oversee the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps, despite the absence of any precedent for such a position in Singapore’s presidency. Currently, the highest rank in the SAF is Chief of Defence Force.
Teo En Ming also emphasized his commitment to defending the Constitution of Singapore.
Previously said he wanted to be JAV star
He first gained attention in the media for expressing his dream of becoming a Japanese adult video (JAV) actor and for attending events with XMM cosplayers, capturing numerous photographs with them, according to a report by Rice Media.
Teo En Ming also revealed that he legally incorporated “Turritopsis Dohrnii” as part of his name, and he said that the word holds personal significance to him.
Moving on to his JAV dream, it appears that Teo has partially realized it. In January, he had the opportunity to fulfill his desire of engaging in an intimate encounter with a JAV actress, for which he reportedly paid S$1,050 to have intercourse with her.
Teo, who currently works as an IT consultant, managed to secure a stable job in 2020. However, he has faced challenges in his personal life.
He has been clinically diagnosed with schizophrenia and openly admits to experiencing phasmophobia, which is the fear of ghosts.
