It all looked rather final, perhaps an end to the 'parrot man' saga.

But just two days later, he was apparently back in the same place again.

Claimed repeat sighting

The same user who posted the news gave a quick update on Facebook, claiming to have seen him there and posting a picture of him, saying it was dated Monday, Aug. 27:

And if you look close enough, his feathered friend appears to be by his side once again.

Zeng's recent arrest is the latest in a string of convictions.

Previous convictions

According to Today, Zeng has a checkered past.

Zeng stood as a Workers’ Party candidate in the 1991 General Election.

He then tried to run as an independent candidate for the 2011 and 2015 General Elections, as well as the 2012 Hougang by-election.

In 2009, he was fined S$3,000 for putting up unapproved banners displaying a picture of terrorist Mas Selamat Kastari.

Before that in 1996, he was convicted of molesting a woman at his former clinic.

He also showed up on multiple occasions previously at various election events with a parrot, trying to run as an independent candidate.

However, his bid to run got turned down multiple times and he could not participate in the elections.
