The former businessman, Zeng Guoyuan, infamously known as ‘Parrot Man’ was reportedly found dead at the foot of Block 68 in Geylang Bahru. According to Stomp, two people informed the site that the body was found on Saturday night (16 November).
A person named Sri saw a police death tent at the foot of Block 68 around 11pm. The other person, Fitzy, was a neighbour of Mr Zeng and often saw him around the area. She said she saw a stain on the ground near that same block.
The police told Stomp that they were alerted to a case of an unnatural death around 9:45pm that day. In responding to the call, the authorities found a 66-year old man lying motionless at the foot of the block. He was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics.
The police are still investigating the matter.
Many people might be familiar with Mr Zeng as he’s made his share of headlines over the years. In October 2018, he was arrested for hurting two police officers at Geylang Serai. Two months prior, in August, he was arrested for verbally abusing a busker following a verbal scuffle.
In 2017, he was embroiled in a dispute with the management of Ngee Ann City for posing as someone with a physical disability and sell tissues to passers-by. The management of the mall put out a notice asking people not to donate money to Mr Zeng.
The nickname ‘Parrot Man’ stuck when he was arrested in 2008 for using abusive language and a couple of police officers. Mr Zeng blamed his pet parrot for getting him arrested. He was charged and fined S$2,500.
A couple of years later, Mr Zeng tried to contest in the 2011 general and presidential elections, gaining him notoriety.
In 2014, Mr Zeng was diagnosed with nose cancer, which left him with a gaping hole where his nose used to be, following surgery.

马籍精神障碍毒骡维持死刑原判,人权律师疾呼违国际法将申诉

即便曾遭医师判断有精神疾病和智力障碍,最高法院上诉庭今日仍维持30岁马来西亚籍毒骡的死刑原判。 今日,人权律师M·拉維于个人脸书揭露,马籍毒品走私者纳嘉(Nagaenthran s/o K Dharmalingam)以精神异常为由入禀法庭,申请免除死刑处决,但却遭驳回。 “根据囚犯的精神科医师表示,纳嘉患有精神疾病或智能障碍,若能以此说服法庭,他可能无需遭处决。”拉維说道。 他续指,“只可惜,法庭选择相信心理卫生学院(IMH)的精神科医师,判定纳嘉的精神状况并无异常。然而,检方与最高法院均认为他仅患有轻度智能障碍。” 他引述了英国人权组织Reprieve,针对处决精神疾患者或智能障碍者的观点,指不论国际法或一些国家的法律,已禁止处死精神疾患者或智能障碍者。 他也指出,在纳嘉的上诉中,来自公家机关的医疗专家证供并未作出进一步的独立检查,而是仅透过囚犯的精神科医师提供的意见,作出观察。 他强调,类似的做法就如同在裁決上鑽漏洞,是一桩无法接受的刑事审判,而最高法院的裁决亦违反国际法规准则的公平审判权。 因此,拉维表示他也打算草拟备忘录提呈马来西亚政府,基于违反国际法,以及纳嘉个案中违反公平审讯的其他事项,呼吁该国政府向国际法庭申诉。 新加坡反对死刑运动…
