Sunflower biker: I didn't harass radio DJ

He is well known as the Sunflower biker because of the many artificial flowers he used to decorate his motorbike. However, he has garnered unwanted attention of late when several radio DJs said that he had been harassing them.

The biker, Mr Soh, said that he did not harass 100.3 FM DJs and is willing to go all the way to prove his innocence.

He parked his bike outside the SPH Building in Toa Payoh North (100.3 FM has its offices here) in the morning of April 10 and displayed a handwritten message attached to the Sunflower Bike.

STOMP got hold of Mr Soh before he left and he gave his side of the story.

"The whole thing started when, I sent an SMS to the radio station, criticising DJ Huang Wen Hong's programme and said that his show had 'no standard'," he recounted.

"He realised that I was the Sunflower biker and he said that I always parked my bike in the vicinity of SPH to look at the DJs, but I told him that I was just there to take my meals at the nearby coffeeshops."

He added that he approached the Chinese daily, Wan Bao, to tell his side of the story. But the article which subsequently appeared on Sept 12 last year, was not what he expected.

"The Wan Bao report stated that I was harassing the 100.3FM DJs when I was not and they had misinterpreted me.

"DJ Anna has a program which discusses topics related to sex and the article stated that I was talking about their boobs.

"But I had actually SMSed in to talk about the topic, not about them."

He told STOMP that he was forced to resign from his job because of the article.

"My boss asked me to go to his office to see him and he told me that the article has damaged the company's reputation. He asked me to resign," he said.

"But I am not going to take it lying down. I tried to get them to correct the mistakes in the article but they refused.

"I am willing to spend time and money to get lawyers and address the issue in a legal suit."

STOMP is contacting 100.3 FM and the Wan Bao reporter who wrote the story, for their comments.
