On this lovely circular (?) planet we know only as Earth, there exists a number of extraordinary men. Patient, charismatic and sensible, these men make the world a better place and are the core battery behind peoples’ restored faith in humanity.
You see, even The Stone approves.
And then on the other end of the spectrum, we have this guy.
Yes, my lovely ladies and gentlemen. Here we have a Singaporean man who’s absolutely livid, not because someone’s dying on the road and nobody bothered to help, or even because his favourite ice-cream seller is having a mini heart attack.
He’s outraged because there’s no more Yakult.
Faith in humanity restored? Well, I guess the last word has gotta change.
Helicopter… and I’m not talking about the trick
According to the Facebook post, Koh had paid a visit to Fairprice Finest at Marine Parade at 10:15 a.m. to get some Yakult for his children, but imagine his utmost disbelief when he found out there’s…
None.
Flabbergasted, he turned to a staff member, who promptly told him…
It’s sold out.
Any other man would have given up by this point. Head to another store to get it, perhaps. Or maybe even give up Yakult altogether and switch to, maybe, Samsung or Oppo.
But not Koh. Koh is, as the ancient Mayans put it…
A true man.
(In fact, I’m pretty sure the Mayans talked about a hero named Koh when they predicted the 2012 planet catastrophe. Probably why the Earth’s still intact now)
Anyways, Koh then took the hardest route available to mankind: posting a complaint on NTUC Fairprice’s Facebook page.
“Extremely disappointed that a Ntuc Finest store can run out of Yakult,” he typed, clearly demanding the truth. “I rather buy from other sources from now on. Give me an explanation.”
‘Sympathetic’ Netizens
After posting about it, Koh received many sympathetic comments from his followers, with many saying that they would boycott their jobs to start an NTUC Yakult campaign with the man.
If it was an alternate dimension anyway.
In this reality, however, Netizens are a bit more… grounded.
And some couldn’t help incorporating some classic ‘shoot em up’ sarcasm.
Incidentally, Fairprice got back to Koh, and honestly speaking it was pretty civil considering the ‘earth-shaking’ issue at hand.
Which means that instead of ranting about it online, Koh could have actually headed back and gotten his beloved Yakult.

The Man, The Myth, The Legend
When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. But not Koh. The man wants his Yakult, and if it means making it out of lemons I’m pretty sure he will do it. Because he’s. Da. Man.
So folks, next time your fav item runs out in the store, remember.
There was once a legendary man who didn’t just give up. He stayed, and he damn nearly won it.
So learn from him, and take it online.
Because that shit always ‘works’.
P.s. On a serious note, well, at least he didn’t call the cops about it.
P.s.s. #optimism
