A young boy was caught on video deliberately running to the middle of the road to lie down on it.
A taxi driver, Marcus Lim, 36, recorded the footage when turning into the estate.
Watch the video from his dashcam here:
The young boy can be seen making his way to the middle of the road and lying down when he spotted the oncoming car.
He only got up and ran away when honked at by Lim.
The incident occurred on Aug. 14 evening, around 6.30pm at the T-junction of Boon Lay Grove Estate:
Other children could be seen at the side of the road, seemingly egging the boy on.

Dares going wrong
Youngsters pulling off stunts on a whim have ended in tragedy before.
Recently, in February 2017, a teenager died after falling four storeys at Orchard Central.
He had jumped off the link bridge connecting Orchard Central and Orchard Gateway, landing on a ledge which collapsed under his weight.
He fell 18 metres to the ground below. His friend said he was trying to retrieve a mobile phone from the ledge.
A coroner’s inquiry in July heard that the teenager was fond of performing “complex stunts” and “extreme acts”.
