Steven Lim. Kurt Tay. Aleric, that dude in your gym who simply refuses to put back the dumbbells.

For ages, these stereotypes have ruled the infamous scene of Singapore with an iron fist, and as such have deservingly been granted the moniker:

The Triple Threat of Singapore (TTS).

And for ages, we certainly thought that the TTS would be everlasting. A permanent legacy. But…

We thought wrong.

In recent times, a strong contender hailing from the vicinity of JP Morgan has been making a strong claim for the title and has been collecting achievements from a variety of NPC areas.

First, he went for a security guard whose only offence was doing his job. Well. And now, it seems that the dark horse is gunning for one of the most lucrative professions in recent times…

Grab drivers.

Infamous Condo Resident Allegedly Told Grab Driver ‘Don’t Waste My Precious Time’

Yes, folks. It’s Ramesh.

Again.

After dominating the local news scene with his yelling exploits, it seems that Ramesh is at it again, though this time around it’s not so much of physical yelling…

But keyboard warrior-ing.

On 31 October 2019, a Twitter user posted a phone screenshot on the social media platform, and lambasted a certain ‘Ramesh’ for what he has done to her father.

Lest you can’t read, the convo goes as follows:

Ramesh: Hi?

Driver: basement

Ramesh: I at lobby

Ramesh: Faster

Ramesh: Don’t waste my precious time

Ramesh: My precious is worth than yours

Now, having been dabbling in the dark arts of Linguistics in recent times, I’ve been learning quite a lot about sentence structures and ways an English sentence could be interpreted to make more ‘sense’. As such, I’ve deftly crafted two interpretations of what ‘Ramesh’ could’ve meant there.

  1. My precious is worth more than yours. Simply put, he’s Gollum and the driver’s Smeagol. You’re Frodo and I’m Albus Dumbledore.
  2. My time is more precious than yours. Simply put, he thinks highly of his time capacity and believes that yours pales in comparison to his.

Now, both versions make a lot of sense. A lot of sense. But when you consider the context of the conversation, there can really be only one answer.

The one you’re thinking of.

But Of Course, It’s Not Confirmed

The incident revolving around the security guard might’ve been a legitimate one, what with actual video evidence and all, but this particular tweet has yet to be verified.

Now, I’m not suggesting that there’s a fabrication of stories here, but it’s just that like previous cases have concurred, there could be a severe case of the wrong identity.

Take, for example, that equally-infamous photo of a payslip, which doesn’t actually belong to the original Ramesh. Or that LinkedIn profile of a random Ramesh, whose profile was swiftly taken offline. For no other incriminating reason than having the same name as Ramesh.

So wait a little bit before you judge, because in the end… it might not be who we think it is at all. And as the Twitter user suggested earlier on, Ramesh is in remorse.

So yeah, let’s give him a little chance, shall we?
