On Sat (16 Nov) night, Parrot Man, whose real name is Zeng Guoyuan, was found dead at the foot of Block 68 Geylang Bahru. This is according to a report by STOMP.
The police also told the publication that investigations are ongoing and the death has been classified as unnatural. Mr Zeng was 66-years-old when he passed away.
This was how Mr Zeng looked before he had the surgery to remove his nose. He was previously a businessman, politician – he was part of the Workers’ Party in 1991 – and acupuncturist.
He had earned the name ‘Parrot Man’ in 2008 when he blamed his pet parrot for getting him arrested and used offensive language against 2 police officers. This coupled with his eccentric personality earned him the nickname.
All his life, Zeng had been a perennial candidate (a candidate that rarely, if ever, wins an election). He unsuccessfully contested, or announced that he would contest, in multiple elections — 2006, 2011, the 2012 by-election and 2015.
In 2014, he was diagnosed with nose cancer, whereupon he underwent surgery to remove his nose.
