  • Singaporean Tourist Consumed ‘Magic Mushrooms’ Drink, Jumps To Death In Bali

    Singaporean Tourist Consumed ‘Magic Mushrooms’ Drink, Jumps To Death In Bali

    A 23-year-old Singaporean tourist died after reportedly jumping from the fifth storey of his hotel in Bali on May 6 at 2am.

    Ong Chee Seng had allegedly been hallucinating after consuming magic mushrooms.

    According to Tribun Bali, the police said the man’s friend had tried to stop him but lost control after the victim broke free.

    The victim’s friend, Lee Jun Yu, who was also his classmate, said that they had bought a magic mushroom drink outside their hotel.

    The victim had mixed his magic mushrooms with orange juice while Lee mixed his with chocolate.

    Shortly afterwards, Ong said he wanted to jump but Lee tried to hold him down.

    A security guard reported that he heard a crash at 2.15am.

    The victim was found in grey boxers and a blue T-shirt.

    His legs and arms were bent at awkward angles and he was bleeding from the mouth.

    He died upon impact and his body was sent to BIMC Hospital in Kuta after an ambulance arrived at the scene half an hour later.

    The Singaporean duo had arrived in Bali on May 5 and had planned on checking out yesterday (May 7).

    The local police are investigating the case.

    Denpasar Police Commissioner Hadi Purnomo said that law enforcement officers had been making efforts to eradicate the magic mushroom trade in Bali, but it’s been “quite tricky”.

    Magic mushrooms have been re-classified as ‘type 1’ narcotics, making them illegal.

  • Singaporean Tourist Ignores Locals’ Warnings, Ended Up Bitten By Komodo Dragon

    Singaporean Tourist Ignores Locals’ Warnings, Ended Up Bitten By Komodo Dragon

    A 50-year-old tourist from Singapore was attacked by a Komodo dragon in West Manggarai, East Nusa Tenggara, on Wednesday morning.

    Lon Lee Alle, who was in the area to visit the Komodo National Park, was severely injured by a bite on his left leg.

    According to the park’s head, Sudiyono, Alle was initially watching several Komodos eating pigs and goats belonging to villagers. He approached the animals to take pictures, ignoring locals’ warning that he should not go too close.

    “He must have been too close. A Komodo doesn’t like to be disturbed when eating,” Sudiyono told The Jakarta  Post.

    Locals immediately helped pull Alle away from the crowd of Komodos and rushed him to the nearby medical center where he got first aid. Alle was then taken to the Siloam General Hospital using a military speed boat.

    “This is the first incident of human being bitten by a Komodo dragon in the past five years,” Sudiyono said.

    He added that the Singaporean had stayed with locals for three days to save costs.

    “The incident took place away from the area set by us where tourists are allowed to observe Komodos. I also appeal to all tourists to take guides with you when wandering around to see Komodo dragons. Never risk your safety by staying with locals and watching Komodos without an official guide only for the sake of your budget,” Sudiyono said.

  • PRC Girl Urinates On Grounds Of Ananta Samakhom Throne Hall In Bangkok

    PRC Girl Urinates On Grounds Of Ananta Samakhom Throne Hall In Bangkok

    An image of a young girl from China urinating in front of the Ananta Samakhom Throne Hall in Bangkok was posted online to the collective finger-wagging of Thai netizens, who are once again calling out Chinese tourists for their “lack of etiquette”.

    “This is what happens when there are so many unlicensed Chinese guides here,” wrote Facebook user Tiger Foung, who posted the photo on June 7. “They are so negligent. A Chinese tourist let one’s daughter pee in front of the lawn of the Ananta Samakhom Throne Hall.”

    Foung went on to say that Thai people were ‘disgusted with the Chinese people who are rowdy, have no manners, spit and defecate anywhere they want,’ according to a translation by the Bangkok Post.

    Urging this photo to be shared worldwide, he further added that “In the end, we’ll end up having just low-quality Chinese tourists. We have to share this to world, so they know how bad the Chinese tourists are.”

    Some users from social media say Foung’s post is biased, while a Chinese user chimed in that “If you have to pee then go someplace no one can see.”

    This is only one of many complaints from Thai people about the behavior of Chinese tourists, who previously came under fire for washing their feet in public sinks, drying their unmentionables at the airport, stealing pedicabs and knocking down barricades.
