Fans of late Chinese actor Yu Menglong have adopted a bench for him at Esplanade.

In a post on Facebook and Threads on March 10, a fan named Abby Khoo wrote: "Leaving a commemorative bench for Yu Menglong in Singapore.

"It's not for the sake of formality or creating a buzz. It's just so that in this world, there can be a place where one can sit down and miss him. When someone is tired, they can sit down. When they are sad, they can lean on someone."

She also included the names of 47 fans, including herself, who had pooled a total amount of RM9,210 (S$3,000) for the bench.

Menglong died on Sept 11, 2025, at the age of 37 after he reportedly consumed alcohol and fell from height. His mother announced his cause of death and implored netizens to stop further speculations in a Weibo post days later. However, till now, fans worldwide continued to advocate justice for him due to the mysterious circumstances surrounding his death.

In her post, Khoo also shared photos of the donation form and the transfer of S$3,000 to Esplanade on the same date.

According to the Esplanade website, donors can adopt a tree or mark a bench to "remember, honour and celebrate a loved one, or commemorate a special occasion".
