A brightly lit e-bike decked out in Singapore flags caught the attention of passers-by in a HDB carpark in Tampines<\/a>, with its rider appearing almost ghostly from a distance.<\/p>\n

A 52-second reel of the unusual sighting<\/a>, shared on the Singapore Incidents Facebook page, shows what appears to be a glowing apparition approaching the camera in an HDB carpark.<\/p>\n

However, as it gets closer, it becomes apparent that it is an e-bike decked out in lights and Singapore flags \u2014 the very human rider even waves at the person recording the video.<\/p>\n

The catchy National Day ditty Stand Up For Singapore can be heard playing in the background, with the tune growing louder as the rider approaches. A woman, presumably the person recording the video, says \u201chappy 61st birthday, Singapore\u201d in Mandarin as the rider passes by.<\/p>\n

Given the surroundings shown in the video, the encounter likely took place at an HDB estate along Tampines Street 43. However, it is unclear when exactly the video was recorded.<\/p>\n

Glowing e-bike leave some netizens spooked, others humoured<\/h2>\n

The video is captioned, \u201cScare die me\u201d, which is a literal translation of a colloquial expression meaning \u201cfrightened me to death\u201d. It was shared on Aug 14 \u2014 coinciding with both National Day celebrations and the Hungry Ghost Festival \u2014 and has since garnered more than 66,000 views, 1,100 reactions and 135 comments.<\/p>\n

Many netizens were spooked initially by the sighting.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt first I thought spirit come to visit! Ya, agree: scare die me!\u201d said a Facebook user. \u201cFrom afar I thought Casper coming?\u201d another said, alluding to the friendly ghost character. Yet another said: \u201cSeventh Month ghost rider.\u201d<\/p>\n

One commenter joked that he thought it was a patriotic spirit.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought \u2018Good Brothers\u2019 (a vernacular euphemism for ghosts) came early to celebrate 61st National Day! Never knew \u2018Good Brothers\u2019 also Stand Up For Singapore!\u201d said the Facebook user.<\/p>\n

Several were impressed with the rider\u2019s effort.<\/p>\n

\u201cWahhh! So cute! Nice! Nice! Very good innovation,\u201d said one Facebook user.<\/p>\n

However, not everyone liked the mobile lights show.<\/p>\n

\u201cCraziness overload,\u201d said a netizen, while another said: \u201cForgot to take his medication.\u201d<\/p>\n
