How messed up can some people be?
It was reported yesterday (May 19) that the grave of Wong Ka Kui, the late lead singer of iconic Hong Kong rock band Beyond, was defiled by two men.
The rock icon died at the age of 31 after falling off a stage while filming a variety show in Tokyo. His grave is located at the Junk Bay Chinese Permanent Cemetery in Hong Kong’s Tiu Keng Leng.
In a video circulating online, one man was filmed by another man using a hammer to smash the tomb, pour coke over it, and deface Ka Kui’s headstone photo with a marker all while singing Beyond’s 1992 classic hit ‘Sky’.
They even cursed at Ka Kui and made out with his picture.
Cemetery staff later informed police about the incident, and the two men, aged 15 and 23, were arrested.
According to reports, the man who smashed and vandalised the tombstone is an influencer named ‘Bald Bob’.
Bald Bob was one of the five people arrested last February for barging into and harassing customers at the AbouThai shopping mall in Hong Kong.
The influencer, who has a two-year bind over by the court, once claimed he is suffering from autism and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
The police, however, suspect he commits crimes for views on social media.
Meanwhile, his accomplice, who has not been named, was the one filming Bald Bob.
Ka Kui’s bandmates have since responded to the barbaric act.
The band’s drummer Yip Sai Wing chastised the felons on Weibo: “Whatever happened at Wong Ka Kui’s grave today is abominable! Those two culprits have already been arrested and they need to be punished by the law!”
“Ka Kui’s spirit in heaven will not let them off!” he added.
The band’s guitarist Paul Wong also told Hong Kong media that the culprits will “receive retribution” for what they did.
“If it’s minor, they will get a stomachache. Otherwise they will die an unpleasant death!” he said.
Ka Kui’s younger brother Wong Ka Keung, who is also the band’s bassist, said on Weibo: “What will you get for doing all this? Is hurting others your key to [online] traffic? I don’t know how to criticise you. Instead I feel sad for you and how the environment around you created a detestable scumbag who’s pathetic, shameful and pitiful”.
This is in fact not the first time Ka Kui’s grave has been defiled.
In 2009, the gold plated words on the singer’s tomb were painted black with a marker. There were also cracks found on his headstone photo.
In 2018, another person also used a black marker to scribble the words “father mother”, “sister brother”, “I’m back” and “Hangzhou” onto Ka Kui’s tomb. His fans took it upon themselves to clean up the graffiti.
The next year, a fan also noticed that someone had written the words “Jiangxi”, “fan” and “three bows” on the tomb.
Why would someone do something like that, seriously?
All these just for views?!
Bald Bob really deserves to be punished

Why are there suddenly so many chickens roaming around Singapore? 🐔 From quiet residential estates and parks to roadsides and open spaces, Singapore’s wild chicken population has become an increasingly familiar sight. These aren’t escaped farm chickens — many are descendants of the red junglefowl, a wild bird native to Southeast Asia and closely related to the domestic chicken. But as more chickens turn up around the island, NParks has been taking steps to manage the population. So if you’ve noticed more clucking around your neighbourhood lately, you’re definitely not alone. And whatever you do… please don’t feed them. 🐔🇸🇬 #8dayssg #8dayssgtrending #chickens #sgviral #sgtiktok
