Man Wear Rolex, Gold & Drove BMW to Johor — “Dangerous Also Must Show Off!”
Eh bro, let me tell you ah, got one friend of mine, really pattern more than badminton. Always want to show off like he very big shot. Last weekend, he say he wanna go Johor Bahru pump petrol, eat seafood, buy groceries lah, usual Singaporean weekend thing. But this fella hor, really over the top one.
He purposely wear his Rolex Submariner, that one easily $18,000 you know! Not fake, real one — can check serial number. Then some more wear thick thick 24K gold chain like he Ah Long, wear long sleeve also can see that gold bling bling shining through. Ring on every finger, look like walk out from KTV VIP room. End up, he drive his BMW X6“.
Wah piang eh, like that go JB, not scared meh?
I told him straight, “Eh bro, JB now not like last time already. Got car theft syndicate, got robbery cases happening every week leh. You like that, drive in look like gold ATM machine, confirm become target one lah.”
He still bochup, say, “Aiya, I got insurance lah. Anything happen just claim lor. And anyway I got car camera, inside and outside. Plus I use credit card with fraud protection, no problem.”
He don’t care lah. Say he cannot lose face. He say, “If I don’t show off, how people know I doing well? Go in JB, must let them see Singaporean still got class.” Wah, really buay tahan this guy.
So he went in lor. JB CIQ jam until siao, but he okay — sit inside his luxury vehicle with aircon, blast music, take selfie some more. Finally reach the seafood place at Permas Jaya. Parked right in front, never hide his car also. Whole time eating crab, he flash his Rolex like want the whole restaurant to see.
Then leh, I tell you, when he walk back to his car — kena. Side mirror gone. Someone try to pry open his door, scratch the paint somemore. He damn tulan, start scolding in Singlish, “Wah lau eh! JB really cannot make it sia. My car repair cost easily $2,000 now. Insurance claim also need excess!”
But instead of learning lesson, you know what he say?
He say, “Next week I go again, but this time wear my Apple Watch Ultra, not so obvious.” 🤦♂️
I really speechless. Some people ah, dangerous also must show off. Want to live luxury life, must also got risk management lah, bro!
Moral of the story: Don’t be a walking ad for high value targets when crossing the border. Save your personal finance, save your face, and save your car paint.
