Commuters have reported receiving letters of encouragement on the MRT, apparently from a man who slips the notes to passengers before alighting.<\/p>\n
Redditor Unfair-Bike posted a photo of a note<\/a> on the Singapore Subreddit, showing a red packet with a letter that read: \u201cYou are doing good enough, even at times it doesn\u2019t feel that way. Be grateful & enjoy the day!\u201d<\/p>\n In the caption, the Redditor said they received the note when the train stopped at Marsiling MRT station. <\/p>\n A man, described as being in his 50s, had apparently \u201cdropped\u201d the red packet on the Redditor\u2019s lap and given similar notes to a few other passengers, before alighting at Woodlands station. <\/p>\n \u201cReally caught me by surprise, it\u2019s nice to see something wholesome on a mundane train ride,\u201d the user said.<\/p>\n The post received over 1,700 upvotes, as some netizens reported similar incidents of them receiving notes from a man on the train at Woodlands. <\/p>\n \u201cThis guy is quite well known around the Woodlands area, he does this quite often and has been doing it for a long time,\u201d one netizen explained. <\/p>\n \u201cIn a world of sh*tty people and pure filth, it\u2019s so refreshing to see this,\u201d another offered.<\/p>\n Redditors recounted similar experiences while on the North-South Line (NSL) in July 2025.<\/p>\n User AhBuiKia received a note on July 20, 2025 while travelling on the NSL towards Marina Bay station.<\/a> Recounting the incident, he said a man had slipped the red packet in front of him before alighting.<\/p>\n The Redditor shared a photo of a note, which was written on the back of a Singtel flyer. It featured a simple drawing of a smiley face with the words: \u201cYou epic warrior\u201d.<\/p>\n \u201cKeep loving yourself regardless you achieve or fail, gain or loss etc,\u201d the note read. \u201cYou\u2019re diligent, kind, humble, brave!\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe also realised that a boy sitting diagonally opposite us was given a red packet too. Anyone experienced this before?\u201d the user asked.<\/p>\n Another netizen reported receiving one with the same drawing while studying at Woodlands Library, while another said they received one at Woodlands MRT station. <\/p>\n Most netizens commended the \u201cheartwarming\u201d and \u201ckind\u201d gesture, while several expressed suspicion.<\/p>\n \u201cSomehow I think the uncle might have some issues but it\u2019s great that he is spreading positivity and encouragement to others.
