A heartwarming sight: Pritam’s residents get cheeky on a house visit
Singapore -- Workers' Party chief Pritam Singh was praised for his sincerity and being close to the residents when he posted a picture of himself with an elderly couple, all three happily smiling, on Facebook.
"Your sincerity speaks for itself," commented a netizen. Said another, "Looks like Mr and Mrs Lim adore you a lot."
The Lims were the elderly couple he met on a walkabout and with whom he posed for the photo.
On Facebook on Wednesday (April 21), when he posted the photo, he wrote:
“Delighted to meet Mr and Mrs Lim during housevists this evening in a more nostalgic setting - on an old school mat!”
The photo showed Mr Singh sitting on a mat with Mr Lim, who enfolded his left arm with his hands while Mrs Lim stood, making a V-sign behind Mr Singh’s head.
“I think Mrs Lim was being cheeky with that “V” sign though!” Mr Singh wrote.
He also posted a picture of himself with two women who looked like medical workers, all three of them wearing face masks.
