A half-naked man fell to his death at a luxurious condominium in East Coast. He is rumoured to be a gang leader.
At 6:30am on 11 June, a man was discovered face down at level 1B of The Bayshore after falling from his apartment. According to sources, the 52 year-old man, Yun Wei Kun, is the leader of a gang. He is believed to have had a dispute with his fellow gang members over money, but it is unclear whether this is connected to his death.
Mr Yun, who is also nicknamed ‘laughing horse’ was said to have been drinking with his gang members the night before his death. Sources said the group hopped between clubs, and that Mr Yun behaved normally. He was said to have not mentioned anything about money.
“Many of his brothers are unemployed, and he was willing to foot the bill that night so everyone could drink as much as they wanted. It did not seem like he was short of money,” the sources claimed.
Mr Yun is said to be able to hold his drink.
According to his 16-year-old daughter, Mr Yun was a good father. When asked if her parents are divorced, Ms Yun said they were just separated and that her mother was distraught when she found out about his death. Ms Yun said she would visit Mr Yun during every school break and was scheduled to meet him yesterday.
Mr Yun is said to have started his dealings with the underworld by selling VCDs illegally. Sources said that, subsequently, he went on to become a loan shark, football bookie and human trafficker. He is said to have quite a reputation around Tampines and Bedok area.
A source said that some time back, Mr Yun lived in the Netherlands for a few years before relocating to Malaysia for three to five years. He was said to be not the same man after those stints abroad. Upon his return, he became friends with some businessmen who dealt in large amounts of capital and began doing business with pubs.
Mr Yun was said to have purchased a Lamborghini just a few months ago. The police are investigating Mr Yun’s death and have classified the case as unnatural death.
