How often do you see someone reading a physical newspaper these days instead of scrolling on their phone? And even less common — how often is that person a Singapore political figure, on public transport no less?
That might explain why a photo of Aljunied GRC MP and former Leader of the Opposition Pritam Singh has gone viral online.
Shared by the Wake Up SG Instagram page, the Workers’ Party (WP) chief was recently spotted on the MRT, standing with his earbuds in while reading the newspaper. The post was captioned: “A leader who walks the talk.”
The post drew an overwhelming response from Singaporean netizens, with many praising him for being “down to earth” and “a sincere leader.”
