Uncle performs a perfect split on pole

In a video posted on TikTok on Sunday (11 Oct), the Original Poster (OP), referred to as Ms Clara Mok, films an uncle doing a leg split on a pole at an HDB block in Ang Mo Kio.

With one hand on the pole, the uncle grabs his left leg and pushes it upwards so his foot touches the top of the pole.

Once his foot is on the pole, he grabs the pole with both hands and pulls himself toward it.

His legs then stretch out into a perfect split, vertically against the pole.

The uncle performs the feat effortlessly without showing an ounce of pain.

OP cannot help but laugh and marvel at uncle’s trick

Behind the camera, the OP laughs and exclaims that the uncle is “very skilled”, praising his vigour and spirit.

The caption read: “Cannot imagine this amazing feat unfolding before me at Ang Mo Kio.”

Netizens wowed by uncle’s legs

The uncle’s flexibility prowess soon went viral on TikTok and Facebook.

At the time of writing, the TikTok video garnered over 500,000 views.

Netizens were charmed and marvelled by the uncle’s skills, many surprised by his flexibility.

Some even admitted to being slightly envious of his impressive physique.

A few speculated that the uncle must have done taekwondo in the past.

Some even made jokes based on the uncle’s flexibility.

One netizen claimed that they have also come across the uncle performing the stunt ten years ago.

200 times in one day for almost two decades

In an exclusive with MS News, Mrs Mok shares that the uncle, known as Mr Su, has been doing the leg splits since he was in his 50s.

According to Mrs Mok, Mr Su is currently in his 70s.

Contrary to netizens’ beliefs, Mr Su does not have a background in martial arts.

Instead, he practised his leg splits 200 times a day for the past two decades.

When Mrs Mok saw Mr Su perform his splits, she expressed surprise and said: “Seeing is believing. I thought then he is an inspiration for everyone to be flexible and keep doing something till perfection.”

She had only met him on the day the video was posted on social media.

Speaking to MS News, Mrs Mok said that Mr Su even claimed in Mandarin: “I doubt there’s another person in Singapore who can do this.”
