I don’t know why people are constantly bemoaning the lack of superheroes in the real world, and go gaga over ‘superheroes’ on the big screen who are essentially normal human beings who smoke weed and get rich. I mean; we already have our own superheroes, albeit without capes.
The honest-to-goodness food deliverymen in our nation.
Toiling round the clock just to satiate our never-ending hunger for ‘justice’, these deliverymen are the superheroes we never knew we had, and the ones we truly need.

Alas, much like a superhero who has a secret basement he likes to call the ‘bat cave’…
They are also entities we do not deserve.
After all, how can we say we deserve them…
When we treat them as such?
Hurling vulgarities
In a Facebook post published on 23 September, a Deliveroo rider ranted about how he was harassed by an ‘Ang mo guy’ over an apparent ‘speeding’ incident, and it even led to him calling the cops.
You can see the original post below:
Transcript:
“To all brothers and sisters, I was delivering my order to a customer staying at 51a Oxley Road, Oxley Residences at about 7.25pm on 22/9/2018. This Ang mo guy was siting on the floor near the black pillar in the video with his two kids. After I delivered my order, I came down and wanting to proceed to my next order. This guy sprint to my bike and stopped me and started shouting vulgarities at me claiming that I was speeding in the condo compound. I was shocked as I did not speed and was not even near them but I kept my cool. Not saying a word to him. He suddenly took my thermal bag which was place on my bike’s tank containing my iPhone X, raincoat, portable charger and a water bottle, and throw it high up in the air. I was mad, we started arguing. He then told me to pick the bag myself if I want it.
Upon picking it up, my iPhone screen was cracked and portable charger is damaged. Even my water bottle plastic cap is damaged (imagine the impact).
The video below is taken after I picked up my stuffs. At the point of time, I assumed his Wife came back in a taxi, he then pass the kids to the Wife and came taunting me to beat him if I want. I did not touched him and called the police.
The police could not do anything and he did not want to pay for the damage done. So I was advised to go to the states court to do a civil suit. Everything is captured as there’s CCTV in the condo.
Please help to spread the word. I was so disappointed because I know I did not do anything wrong and now I have to spend time and money to find a lawyer and repair the damages done just because the guy (with speed cam eyes) just feel that I was speeding and harassed me.

Netizens go super saiyan; some Suarez’d
If you find yourself getting angry on the Deliveroo rider’s behalf, you’ll be glad to know that you’re not actually alone in that aspect.
Not even close.
And some even went full-blown Xenophobic.
Although to be fair, some did keep a cool head…

And one questioned whether the Deliveroo rider actually had a part to play.
What’s your call?
Do you think the ‘Ang mo guy’ was being a real nuisance?
Or did the Deliveroo rider only have himself to blame?
