A 45-year-old man, Kathirasan aka Raysan Ace, was allegedly dared by a Facebook user Chiongster SG to swim across the Singapore River at about 2.30am during the Hungry Ghost Month.
The man was believed to have drowned.
The incident happened on 27 August at Boat Quay, the Singapore River.
Raysan posted on his Facebook, responding to Chiongsters SG, accepting his challenge on 22 August.
Here are the messages that Chiongster sent to Raysan, challenging him:
A live video of the incident was subsequently posted on Raysan’s Facebook.
He was seen taking off his shirt in the dark, wearing a pair of blue pants.
He said to the camera before swimming:
“”Hi, this is Raysan Ace and I am doing the 2.30am swim across and back Boat Quay river during the Chinese ghost seventh month. Please do not try this if you are not an expert swimmer, I am not.”
He was then seen swimming halfway across the river, but soon he disappeared under the water.
The cameraman continued filming for more than 20 minutes.
