This following forum is created to create public awareness abt
this guy, Steven Lim. I think a new forum is needed to spread news
all over abt his acts.Ppl who are new to him may think he is rather
FUNNY, but after refering to past forums regarding him, I was
horrified and think he is not the slightest funny

I witnessed the most shocking thing that ever happened in every day
life to
me, for a long long time.
I was walking at the underpass between Orchard MRT and CK Tang (you
know the
one with the blind accordian player, you know him!) and when I came
across
what I thought was the most attention grabbing marketing gimmick in
a very
long time. There was a girl standing in the middle of the path with
A4 print
outs on her back and on her forehead which had "
www.stevenlim.net" on it.
The girl was using a newspapers to cover her face too. Wow, I
thought to
myself. This "Steven Lim" guy has a completely new "out of the box"
method,
perhaps "artsy-fartsy"; approach to getting his website known! I
mean, EVERY
SINGLE PERSON was literally stopping dead in their tracks to look
from
either direction!
Excited, I quickly called my friend Elgin that I was supposed to
meet at Far
East Plaza to come along to have a look. Before Elgin arrived, I
found a
tall guy in his late 20s wearing a black sleeveless tight t-shirt
hanging
around the side of the underpass, and I presumed him to be the
"Marketing
minded Steven Lim". I told him that I was impressed by the idea and
asked
him how he got it. He told me proudly that he thought about it
himself.
However, I couldn't help but keep looking at the girl but feel
that
something wasn't right. I also noticed that the girl had two girls
on either
side of her who seemed to be encouraging her in a "don't worry,
we're here
for you" kind of way.
"Who is that girl? Did you employ her? She's very brave! Where did
you get
her from?"
Steven replied by saying that it was his girlfriend. The horror hit
me when
when her friends came up to me and told me and Elgin that she was
doing it
completely against her will. Steven has asked her to do it with
funny
sunglasses and when she refused, he got angry. Apparently she loved
him so
much that she didn't want him to be angry with her and so she'd
rather bite
the bullet and cover her weeping eyes with the newspaper the whole
time.
And what did this 28 year old hunkalot Steven do? He stood by the
side and
soaked up the glory and attention that he got as a result of his 16
year old
girlfriend's humiliation. Angered, Elgin and I questioned him about
his
"business practices" and his only defence were lines like "I'm
paying her $5
an hour" and "Of course I got unhappy when she didn't want to do it
for me,
it's only natural"! The whole time his poor girlfriend stood crying
next to
us, and her friends started looking to us for reason and
support.
Elgin and I went on to give him a half an hour lecture on how NOT
to treat
his girlfriend and suggested other ideas to market himself without
having to
resort to emotional blackmail. His final response was "Thanks for
the
advice, but please visit my website. It's really good. Ask your
friends to
visit it as well!"
I felt so bad that ANY girl had to live with loving such a person
that I
ended up giving her a $300 watch loupe that I just happened to have
on me. I
just felt so sorry for her, and even more than such guys
existed.
During the half hour lecture, he also asked me to support him on
Singaporean
Idol, let other people know about his website and how interesting
all the
new stuff is, and how he thinks he'll succeed in life by doing
things like
that.
God Bless his girlfriend, and all who stood with her.

PS: I've attached a photo that I took of the "ad campaign" before I
found
out the truth. I'd like to hear your views, but please let me know
if
you're going to do anything drastic or public with this.

People...tell me your view..how can such thing happen.If any1 still
thing he is gutsy and admirable...do think twice...this act is
psychotic....it freaks me out so badly....and i think some also
mentioned abt his public exposure acts....HOW CAN SUCH ACT BE
PERFORMED??? explaination is needed....the public is not
happy....authorities should take some actions against him...
In short, he is rather dangerous...lurking ard everyday hunting for
preys. This is not a busy body forum created....but do spare a tot
if he tries to talk to your sis or gf....moreover, some short
sighted gals may be blinded by the fact tat a 'famous' guy is so
frenly to talk to them..so i hope we can spread this msg abt him to
the whole of Singapore. Let him be real famous to every1 for the
1st and last time....warm the females around you!!
