A local breakdancer with a troubled past, a single father who transformed his life and body for his kids, and a tour of local personality Steven Lim’s home which has been regularly featured in his controversial videos.
These are some of the stories featured in a new video series called Realife, which aims to uncover real stories as told by real people.
Produced by Singapore Press Holdings’ citizen journalism website Stomp, the series was launched in February this year and showcases the true life stories of individuals with interesting experiences or professions – in their own words.
The first webisode features local breakdancer Felix Huang who was convicted in 2013 after a brush with the law.
Huang shares how the lessons he learnt from his time behind bars has helped him drive his career as an owner of a dance studio.
In a more recent webisode, Steven Lim who is infamous for his online videos which many feel are crude or distasteful, gives Stomp a tour of his house and shares insights on how his own family views him and his antics.
He also tells viewers what kind of woman he hopes to marry.
