Said the STOMPer:

"Yesterday around 3.30pm, whilst driving towards ECP Changi, there was slow traffic.

"I saw two uniformed policeman and a group of hotel staff looking at a motionless Caucasian man near the scrubs.

"I wondered what happened.

"Later, while driving back on the ECP towards Tuas around 4.30pm, I passed by the same spot and saw this blue police tent!

"Still wondering what happened?"

A Police spokesperson said:

"Upon Police's arrival, the body of a man was found lying motionless at the said location.

"He was pronounced dead by paramedics at the scene.

I work there and if u say these are all but sad. You ain't seen nothing yet. Since its opening there had been many unreported death and tragic loss not only to our guests but our staffs as well.

From the death of celebrity chef, Santi, to the suicide cases of last year even to death numerous death in many of fellow colleagues' families and relatives. And many of us had been suffering from constant plaguing of illnesses from mild to serious ones.

It seems like MBS is a spawning of hell on earth literally where death exudes in its path. One could say that MBS has an extremely bad Fengshui.

Some traditionalists believe that because it was raised from the sea therefore it "disturbs" the natural order of things (supernatural or its aura). Thus, these are so-called "curses" that we're made to endure for stepping into their "zones".
