Youngster spotted performing high-risk scooter tricks near Tanjong Pagar MRT station: ‘I’m a trained professional’, Singapore News

Some users felt that the stunts he performed were too dangerous and posed a risk to others that might be around, with one commenting: “A danger to pedestrians using pedestrain facilities.”

Other users were also concerned whether he had damaged public property with his stunts.

In response, he commented on the Instagram post: “I’m a trained professional, I know what I’m doing.

“Nothing was damaged and no one was hurt; you guys should make use of your time better.”

Some users supported him and the tricks he performed, praising his skill.

“It’s good to see kids playing like this… Let the kids come together to play instead of always (being) on their phones,” said one.

Another user took the opportunity to share their perspective on parenting and childhood.

“This is what childhood should be about: going outside, making mistakes, getting a few bumps and bruises, learning from them, and growing from the experience.

“Kids who are allowed to explore, take risks and figure things out for themselves can build resilience, confidence, and independence as they grow.”

Addressing the youth, the user also told him to “keep it up” and ignore haters.

“Stop raising kids like they’re made of glass,” the user said. “Toughen up a little.”
