Common Hideouts

Mr Cheng loved to hang out at several prominent spots. He usually stays at the same exact spot at a certain time of the day for as long as months before moving on to the next one. These were the most common areas he was always seen at:

• J8 – Coffee Bean Outside Seats

• J8 – KFC

• Several Bus Stops at Bishan area, especially near schools such as Catholic High School and Raffles Institution

• Bus Stops at Bukit Timah area too, mainly outside NJC or Hwa Chong bus stop. Sometimes outside St. Joseph’s Institution too.

• Usually sits in the middle seats of the bus. Board buses 13, 88, 156 etc.

The places he hung around were probably the main reasons that led to people giving him the name of “Bishan Gay”.


Overly friendly…most of the times creepy

He has a bad habit of staring and smiling eerily at schoolboys straight in the eyes for extended periods of time. While lurking around in Bishan, Mr Cheng loves to wave at young schoolboys. Most of them would wave back. A very friendly uncle!

S$50 Angpows

We heard that Mr Cheng used to give out S$50 Angpows for students to take photos with him on a pay-per-photo basis. Some schoolboys would be tempted to take the photos with him for some quick cash. There were also many speculations of what the Bishan Gay might do with the photos. Sometimes, he also invited schoolboys over to his house during CNY, offering Angpows to them as well.


Other Rumours:

• Likes to swing around his phone a lot

• Used to teach in Raffles?

• Many say he was a high-level tutor

• Insisted that he was admiring the scenery when some daring boys questioned him about his awkward behaviour

• Over the years, there were parents who expressed concerns about his behaviour. Some even went to take further actions by reporting him to the authorities.
