Turkish shooter Yusuf Dikec might’ve taken the spotlight at the recent 2024 Paris Olympics. Here in Singapore, though, another ‘shooter’ has seemingly caught the public’s attention with his impressive accuracy.
On Sunday (25 August), a TikToker in Singapore shared jaw-dropping footage of a man showing off his gunslinging skills at a pasar malam.
Speaking to MS News, 40-year-old project manager Ms Jones shared that she witnessed the impressive scene on 24 Aug at around 10.15pm at that night market located in Tampines.
The 30-second clip showed the man effortlessly shooting down multiple cans displayed at a games stall.
“First time in my life seeing an awesome carnival shooter,” the caption read.
With both hands on the trigger, the man began knocking down the metal cans one by one, leaving bystanders in awe.

Ms Jones told MS News that she was unsure what the man won for his efforts, but noted that he was seemingly trying to select prizes for his children at the end.
The man was later revealed to be 37-year-old Iskhandar Mazlan, a senior security officer at Gleneagles Hospital.
Mr Mazlan told MS News that he visited the pasar malam with his wife and three children, as seen in the video.
Noting that the family visit the night markets often, he shared that the shooting game was something they always did.
“I play every time we go to a pasar malam… Never really trained, it’s just a game that I have played since my childhood days too,” Mr Mazlan said.
For his most recent efforts, he told MS News that he won a cooking play set and a seperate shooting game for his children, which they loved.
After watching the video, many TikTok users noted that the stall vendor appeared stressed, seemingly worried that Mr Mazlan was going to snatch up all the prizes.

Most were stunned by the his accurate shooting skills and compared him to Turkish shooting athlete Yusuf Dikec, who won a silver medal at this year’s Olympic games with his laidback demeanour.
Others dubbed Mr Mazlan the pasar malam version of John Wick, a famous fictional hitman who knew his way around guns.
