Cineleisure 24 Oct 2005 II - Stunt man's Story Unfolds

The story *I use the word "story" 'coz I dunno how true is it~* is out!

The stunt man was a 22yr old Malay dude. He was being chased by 2 off duty cops *Fwah~!* after snatchin' a lady's handbag! Cornered, he attempted to pull the Jackie Chan stunt in "Police Story I" by leapin' over the level 3 ledge...then he remembered there wasn't any safety below..., he wasn't a Hong Konger, & amongst many other things the Laws of Gravity! So down he fell straight to the other world.

He left a sum of $40k+ cpf $$$ to his wife & kids...$40k+ in cpf!!!??? & he's only 22yrs old!!!??? What!? He was like, started work @ the age of 12!? Or he was drawin' a salary of $3k+ a month for the past couple of yrs!? Or he contributed all his $$$ to cpf in order to declare a high income for credit card applications!?

If he was allowed to draw his cpf $$$...could this incident be avoided...?

cpf to us is like water to a chicken on a boat (旦家雞看水...), can see but can't drink, & when it finally touches the water below, it's gonna die 'coz chicken can't swim...& we are not immortals...
