PUNCH till you DIE...

[David]

Read how did he parked his car and then decide if he self-pawn or not. I think more like a oportunitist looking for student to learn from him martial arts.

Assault happens after two men confront him for blocking their vehicle

He is trained in qigong, muay thai boxing, karate, and taekwon-do, and has performed stunts, including on screen.

And he claims he would have been beaten to death recently, had he not known how to use martial arts to defend himself.

Mr Lim Pian Hwa, 48, a businessman, said that on the evening of 23 Jun, he left his car on Sungei Road and went to get a watch repaired.

Suddenly, he heard someone yell in Hokkien: 'Whose car is blocking mine?'

He said his Kia multi-purpose vehicle was in front of a lorry and another car.

He claimed that he apologised at once and offered to move his vehicle.

But the two men confronting him looked menacing.

One of them was a full head taller, and very well-built.

Mr Lim said he asked them: 'Why are you so fierce?'

According to him, both the men glared at him, shouted Hokkien expletives and began to land punches and kicks on him.

Though taken aback by the attack, he began to use his training to shield himself.

And all the while, it seems he kept talking to them, trying to explain that they could get the authorities to issue him a summons.

But, he claimed their response was to shout in Hokkien: 'Punch till you die. This place cannot park. Still dare to talk.'

He said he could tell that both the men were also trained in martial arts, from the way they punched.

He recalled how they aimed a flurry of blows and kicks on his head, stomach, crotch, and legs.

He also felt something heavy hit him on the side of the head.

Despite all that, as he parried and dodged, he managed to call the police on his handphone.

He said a crowd had gathered to watch, but nobody intervened.

The attack lasted for about 10 minutes.

He then heard shouts that the police were arriving, and the two men ran away.

'If I didn't block the blows, I would have died,' said Mr Lim. 'Any normal person would have been beaten to death.'

And even this martial arts veteran did not come away unscathed.

He suffered a fracture to his hand, scratches and bruises on his head and body.

He said he is mystified that someone would attack him so ferociously over the way he had left his car.

'I have no past history with these people, I don't owe them money or anything,' he said.

Also, Mr Lim said, he had left his car's hazard lights blinking, and was away for less than five minutes.

However, he suspects that the attack might be related to an incident that morning.

He said he had made a police report against a client who threatened to kill him over a money dispute. But Mr Lim stressed that he resolves problems with dialogue instead of resorting to fists.

'I must be rational, I must 'ren' (Mandarin for withstand, tolerate, suffer). I use experience, not temper.

'It is not worth it to fight back. There are laws in Singapore which I respect and follow. These people were entirely unreasonable.'

DANGEROUS STUNTS

Mr Lim is not new to dangerous situations.

He is an experienced stunt performer who uses his martial arts training to perform dangerous feats.

He has been rammed in the stomach by a tree trunk carried by several men, and run over by a lorry.

In another performance, he cracked a stack of 20 fluorescent lights in half with a single blow of his bare hand.

According to a Shin Min article in 1994, he has acted in a television film, Gang, made in China with Hong Kong actor Chen Ting Wei.

The article also mentioned that he won a Muay Thai boxing competition in Thailand in 1983.

Mr Lim said he learnt some of his skills from his grandfather, who was a qigong master and performer.

Police confirmed that they received a call at 6.40pm on 23 Jun about a fight, and they are investigating.

If incident really happened just as it was described, then it's definately a setup by someone to whack him. Don't think people would just start beating someone up over a small matter, let alone run off leaving 'their' vehicles behind.

 

Else, it may just be a one sided story. Maybe he provoked them or something and the fight escalated. Kerna beating while calling the police on handphone sounds far-fetched.
