A man was seen parkouring over the rooftops of a hotel building at Resorts World Sentosa (RWS), according to a video by TikTok user Denester on Sunday (Oct 11).

In the video, a man wearing a black shirt and pink shorts can be seen leaping across the rooftops of The Laurus, a luxury hotel at RWS.

"Saw a siao lang (Hokkien for crazy person) flipping over a roof at my hotel," Denester wrote.

However, the man is unlikely to be as reckless as the caption suggests and appears to know exactly what he's doing.

The stunt performer bears a striking resemblance to Singaporean parkour athlete Koh Chen Pin, 33, who goes by the online moniker Denester. However, it is unclear if the man in the video is indeed the TikTok user himself.

The clip also bears similarities to a recent freerunning showcase filmed at RWS.

On Sept 30, Australian parkour athlete Dominic Di Tommaso, also known as Dom Tomato, released a video with RWS titled "Dom Tomato vs Noa Diorgina: The Ultimate Freerunning Showdown at Resorts World Sentosa".

In this video, parkour athletes Dom Tomato, Noa Diorgina, BoySpinBoy and Denester showcased their freerunning skills as they hopped, dived and vaulted over various attractions across RWS while collecting red flags as part of the challenge.

Each participant also wore Red Bull-branded apparel as they performed their stunts.

"No scripts. No shortcuts. Just pure momentum," the video description stated.

In a separate behind-the-scenes video, Denester revealed that the project had been in the works since April.

"This is actually a personal dream of mine," he said. He added that he and Red Bull Singapore had long hoped to collaborate with RWS and described the chance to climb The Laurus as a "privilege".

While the three-day shoot was "definitely a challenge" for the 33-year-old, he said he did not sustain any injuries.

AsiaOne has contacted Denester, Red Bull and RWS for more information.
