In a move that has left the entire nation questioning if they are hallucinating from the heat, Pritam Singh was seen actually using the MRT like a common peasant.

The Workers’ Party leader was spotted on the East-West Line, successfully navigating the train without needing a ministerial escort or a map drawn in fucking gold leaf.

"I couldn't believe it, I thought it was a wax figure from Madame Tussauds that had gained sentience," said one commuter who spent thirty minutes pretending to look at his phone while filming the WP chief’s every breath.

The eyewitness, a typical Mothership reader named Li, was so traumatised by the sight of a politician in the wild that he immediately sent a photo to the internet to confirm that rich people do, in fact, exist in three dimensions.

This act of extreme survival comes after DPM Gan Kim Yong told Singaporeans to save energy by using fans and taking public transport, because apparently, the Middle East is on fire and we all need to suffer together.

While most high-earning elites treat the MRT like a subterranean leper colony for the unwashed, Pritam’s presence suggests he is brave enough to inhale the recycled farts of the working class.

"He even stood up," whispered another witness, as if witnessing a biblical miracle where a man with a high salary didn't immediately demand a velvet throne and a foot massage from a migrant worker.

Political analysts suggest that by taking the train, Pritam is making a bold statement that he too enjoys being 15 minutes late because of some bullshit "signal fault" on a Wednesday morning.

The fact that a man taking a train is considered "breaking news" confirms that Singaporeans have reached a level of boredom that should be legally considered a crime against humanity.

If taking the green line to City Hall makes you a hero, then every fucking auntie carrying three bags of groceries from FairPrice deserves a state funeral and a statue in Raffles Place.

As of press time, the PAP is reportedly scrambling to find a Minister who remembers how to tap an EZ-Link card without accidentally trying to use their elite member's club pass.

Pritam reportedly vanished at City Hall, presumably to return to a world where people don't stare at him like he’s a fucking rare Pokémon.
