Socialites Pay $600 To Simulate Homelessness With Fairy Lights

Singapore’s elite have discovered a revolutionary new way to burn disposable income while simultaneously developing stage-three heatstroke.

"Glamping" at East Coast Park allows affluent office workers to pay five-star hotel prices for the privilege of sleeping three feet away from a pungent public toilet.

The experience features overpriced canvas tents decorated with fairy lights, designed specifically to hide the fact that you are essentially a hobo with a high-speed data plan.

Participants report that nothing says "lepak" quite like the soothing smell of cheap charcoal smoke and the romantic roar of Boeing 747s descending overhead at 3:00 AM.

"Wah lau, I pay so much but the portable air-con inside the tent like my grandmother's breath, so weak sia," complained 28-year-old influencer, Tiffany Tan.

"Sand everywhere, even in my internal organs, but the Instagram photo got 2,000 likes so I guess I don't need my dignity anymore."

"Eh, actually very shiok one," said local resident Lim Ah Kow.

"I just bring my bird cage, sit there, and pretend my wife don't exist."
