You know about youths in Singapore.

While boomers tried to gain attention on Facebook by filming others for not wearing a mask and then posting it online, youths did the opposite.

They film themselves doing silly things and then post it online themselves.

We’ve got a guy who thinks it’s a good idea to dance on an empty road for TikTok:

And now, we’ve got a dude who thinks it’s cool to ride a bicycle into a reservoir…at night.

During the Circuit Breaker period.

A Stomper saw the antics on Instagram Stories because that’s where youths showed the world the stupid things they do.

The video is as simple as it says: it shows a half-naked youth, who appears to be riding a MoBike (gosh, anyone still remembers these bikes?), riding towards a river.

According to the tags, the incident happened in MacRitchie Reservoir.

The video was uploaded on 8 May 2020, and PUB has confirmed that it happened that day as well, so youths are supposed to be at home watching Netflix videos instead of creating their own videos.

This means they’ve broken a few laws:

  • Breaking Circuit Breaker rules
  • Damaging a property that doesn’t belong to them (unless their grandfather owns MoBike lah)
  • Trespassing
  • Swimming in a restricted area
  • Being stupid

Okay, the last one might not be a law but hey: with COVID-19, laws change as fast as Taylor Swift changing her boyfriend.

PUB: Police Report Made

PUB is aware of the incident and has made a police report.

They said, “Based on the footage retrieved from our CCTVs, a few boys were seen trespassing the gated pontoon area at MacRitchie Reservoir on May 8 and swimming in the waters…We have filed a police report and provided the CCTV footage to the police for investigation.

“Swimming is prohibited in all reservoirs as local catchment water is a source of our water drinking supply, and it is dangerous to swim in these open waters as it is easy to misjudge the depth of the water. Swimming at night is even more dangerous due to limited visibility.”

People who swim there could be fined up to $3,000.

And to add on, that is a gated area, and all reservoirs are also closed during the Circuit Breaker period.

Circuit Breaker might have made some adults lose their jobs, but it seems like it’s made some youths lose their mind, too.
