Singapore’s public transport network has been in the spotlight recently with politicians — both past and present — spotted on buses and trains.
The latest to join this trend is former defence minister Ng Eng Hen, who uploaded photos of himself on Facebook on Tuesday (April 28), eating laksa after commuting via MRT to Maxwell Food Centre.
Dr Ng, who retired from politics in 2025, praised the MRT’s “new long-range capability” that made it possible for him to reach and “can now target hawker food faraway”.
The 67-year-old was also photographed smiling proudly while flashing his PAssion Silver concession card at the camera.
The card was launched in 2016 for seniors to enjoy concessionary fares on public transport, in addition to a suite of merchant benefits and privileges.
