The resemblance was uncanny, but it turned out that the man in the photo was actually Henry Thia.

The latter is a former actor and comedian, who in 2004 played the recurring role of Georgie Gan in Police & Thief.

Thia has often joked that he and Khaw are twins.

Netizens however, were rather irate that Thia was not allowed to peacefully take a nap.
