'I thought it was impossible': Singapore content creator proves himself wrong, hitchhikes from Changi Village to Tuas
Singaporean content creator Ng Yi Hui was sceptical when challenged to hitchhike across the island, but was proven wrong when he managed to successfully travel across the country with the help of people he met.In a series of three TikTok videos which have garnered over 124,000 views combined, 27-year-old Ng, who is known for travelling across the globe on a budget, documented his journey across Singapore from Changi Village to Tuas.The first video was posted on Sept 19, with one video posted per day.Speaking to AsiaOne, Ng said that the idea to hitchhike was prompted by Chinese publication Lianhe Zaobao, which challenged him to it."I felt that crossing the length of Singapore would be a good way to experiment if hitchhiking in Singapore is even possible," he said.Despite having previous hitchhiking experiences in places like China and Thailand, Ng was doubtful about doing it locally."I always thought that it was impossible in Singapore," he told AsiaOne, saying that people "may sometimes come across as more reserved" and thus less open to helping him out.
