== Advocacy for drug-abuse ==
Over the years, Simon Khung has been extremely open about his 16 years of drug abuse. Not only did he serve three jail terms from between 2015 and 2019, but he also went through two divorces and a failed suicide attempt. At his lowest point, Simon had tried to drink bleach to commit suicide but said that he survived, which motivated him to turn over a new leaf for good.[21]

To come clean, he admitted himself to a halfway house and underwent rehab for two years.[28] Over time, he has continued to advocate for anti-drug campaigns and raise awareness about the damaging effects drugs have on families. Simon has also since become a Peer Leader under the Singapore Anti Narcotic Association, where he shares his experiences with substance abuse at the Association’s educational talks.

== Newsworthy incidents ==

=== Bought a 5-figure Rolex watch for his girlfriend (2023) ===
On 20 November 2023, Simon Khung posted a photo of his then-girlfriend, Chloe who sported a diamond Rolex on her wrist.[8][9][10] The luxurious gift wowed netizens right away, many of whom congratulated her in the comments. In the caption, he expressed his gratitude for her supporting him through thick and thin, saying that she would always “own half of” whatever he had. Simon often shares that it was her belief in him that helped him establish a stable career in social media.

“When I met her, everybody knows, I was riding my bicycle doing food delivery. I only had S$50 in my bank, [but] she stuck with me. She’s working a very normal job, like normal salary, and she trusted in me,”.

=== Tree-planting event by SANA (2023) ===
On 20 January 2020, Simon was featured in a Straits Times article on a tree-planting event that was held by the Singapore Anti-Narcotics Association (SANA). Speaking with The Straits Time, he shares that in the future, he hopes to “be able to see the tree growing, and see the rewards of the hard work, effort, and feel a sense of contentment”; drawing a parallel to his life and experiences.[33]

=== Daughter murdered by ex-wife (2020) ===

==== Divorced over disagreements about daughter’s custody ====
Simon’s late daughter, Megan Khung was born on 4 October 2015. When she was approximately 18 months old, Simon and his then-wife Foo Li Ping divorced due to disagreements over who their daughter should stay permanently with.[19] Li Ping was insistent on taking custody of her daughter, to which Simon’s family conceded eventually. Subsequently, Li Ping moved in with her family, breaking off contact with Simons’ family and not letting them visit Megan.[19]

==== Ex-wife and boyfriend arrested as suspects ====
In 2020, Li Ping’s mother contacted the Khungs to inform them that the family had not spoken to Li Ping since September 2019, raising suspicions over Megan’s safety.[19] On 20 June 2020, the Khungs filed a missing person’s report for Megan.[19]

She was later declared dead by the police and three suspects were arrested for the murder of Megan Khung. Among them were the mother, Foo Li Ping and her boyfriend Wong Shi Xiang.[19] It was reported that the couple’s accomplice, a friend by the name of Nouvelle Chua Ruoshi was also involved in the disposal of Megan’s corpse.[19] The body was brought to Paya Ubi Industrial Park, where it was left to burn in a barrel.

==== Khung family extremely devasted by the incident ====
Simon’s family, particularly his older brother and mother were struck with grief and despair after the incident.[19] To this day, Simon dedicates an Instagram post to his late daughter on her birthday each year.[4]
