Typical kiasu ‘chopes’ parking lot on Liang Seah Street by standing in it

Imagine driving on a busy street where parking is scarce, and you see a vacant parking lot a few cars in front of you.

Every driver starts hoping and praying that the cars in front of them don’t take that parking lot.

In this case, no one takes that lot.

When you’re closer, you realise why.

Uncle, why you so kiasu

Some overgrown Smurf uncle is standing there reserving the lot for his friend/family/idgaf who.

I’m sorry, but “Uncle, this isn’t some Kopitiam where you reserve a table with your tissue.”

Here’s the video by SG Road Vigilante, so have a look yourself. Warning – the techno music in cam car might be a little loud for some.

Cam car driver’s conversation

Cam car driver winds down his window, and we can catch snippets of his conversation with Kiasu Uncle (It would have been a little clearer without the techno).

Basic translation from Mandarin to English because my Mandarin CMI

“Hello brother, cannot like that reserve parking lot”

“My car come here first leh”

The uncle replies that his friend/son's car is just behind, and the cam car drives off in a huff hurling a string of profanities that I will not translate here.

What the people say

Some people think there’s nothing wrong with this

Some think otherwise

Personally, I think this @#$% should be illegal unless Kiasu Uncle dresses as a tissue box then I've got nothing to say.

  • Carpark Review: Junction 8

    Built in the 1980s, Bishan (or Bishan New Town) may not be one of the earliest housing estates in Singapore, but it was the first whose HDB architecture saw a departure from the more brutalist designs of the past and featured more variation in height and design.  Residents are primarily served by Junction 8, which opened in 1993. Now more than 30 years old, it remains the sole mall in the Bishan East area. Driving there? Here’s our quick review of the carpark.  Manoeuvrability: T
