Another shared that they had spotted Pritam Singh at an ActiveSG gym, while a different netizen added: \u201cYou guys do know this is not his first time on the MRT right?

\u201cAlso reading [physical] newspapers is such a plus for me,\u201d wrote one netizen, while another echoed: \u201cAnd he is reading NEWSPAPER. Rare.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rare indeed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
