Why do Singaporean uncles (or maybe some Sammyboyer uncles) like to wear jade ring?

[bigcockman]

Is it...

1. Fashionable for Sammyboyer Uncle type of age group?

2. Brings good luck?

3. Wards off evil?

4. Can attract girls and have fun with them?

5. Showoff their wealth?

6. Any other functional use?

Honestly, it looks gross. Every time I see an Uncle wearing this, my first impression is that he is a Pervert.

Do you think so?

3. Ward off evil.

What comic series are you referring to? I never heard of it before.

You mean it works or it's just their superstitious imagination?

Not comic, that’s the Jade Emperor. That’s how the wearing of jade started.

The Jade Emperor is a fictional character like Star Wars Emperor or real Emperor?

Of course real emperor, from Song Dynasty.

And he's dead? What good does praying to a dead Emperor does to oneself?

Better to pray to Emperor Xi ya.

It's funny Chinese like praying to funny human beings. The level of superstition is amazing and unbelievable, including wearing of red underwear when playing mahjong or buying lottery.
