Man removes clothes and takes a bath in Singapore River

Singapore ― A TikTok video has emerged of a man sitting and enjoying a night soak in the Singapore River, sans his clothes.

The video, uploaded by one @3M, was a 20-second-long clip where a shirtless man could be seen sitting on the steps of the river bank. As the camera pans closer to him, it could be seen that he was not wearing pants as well.

The person who filmed the video captioned it: “saw this guy enjoying swim at the river side Clarke Quay”. He and his friend who were both there when it happened were the ones who called the police.

Responding to questions in the comments, the poster also said that the man did not just sit by the river bank. After removing his clothes, he swam around the river for a while before sitting down on the bank.

Last month, a 45-year-old took up a challenge from a stranger and lost his life while doing so.

Raysan Ace attempted to swim across the Singapore River on Aug 27 after he allegedly received an online dare from Facebook group Chiongsters SG.

“We dare you swim Boat Quay river and back [sic] at 2.30am before the seventh month finish Sept 6,” the expletive-laden message read.

The 45-year-old man, whose real name is Kathirasan, did so and ended up drowning.

About four minutes in, he disappeared from view. A day later, Kathirasan’s body was retrieved from the river.

Netizens who commented on the video of the man soaking in the river joked that he was enjoying a free spa soak. Others guessed that he may have relationship troubles or was facing heartbreak.
