Workers’ Party politician Nicole Seah was carrying out house visits at the Taman Bedok estate recently when she bumped into a famous personality.
“It is not every day that we get to encounter a celebrity during house visits,” the WP Youth Wing President wrote in a post on Facebook and Instagram on Monday (Dec 5).
She added that the WP volunteers “were extremely excited” when she shared the photo “with this famous resident, who was an eminent SBC host in the 1990s!”
Ms. Nicole Seah, who has been active on the ground at East Coast for the past few years, identified the celebrity as “Mr. Zhu,” who is “also known as Andy.”
She described him as “extremely humble and down-to-earth.”
She and the team of WP volunteers had last been at the estate two years ago.
During the course of house visits, she also came across one residence which had a Marvel Avengers statue collection from floor-to-ceiling, which is where “resident W from Taman Bedok” lives.
Finally, she also encountered a number of dog lovers, “with a couple proudly introducing us to their Singapore Special pup which looked like a border collie cross.
Mongrels might not fetch the same price premium as pedigree dogs, however, their sweet disposition and the inherent gratitude of being rescued by their owners offer a combination that makes for wonderful canine companionship.”
“If you are so inclined, adopt, don’t shop!,” said Ms Nicole Seah encouragingly.
She also expressed thanks to the “volunteers who gamely took out their umbrellas and caps to cover much ground with us in the morning sun.”
Commenting on her post, one netizen wrote, “Ms Nicole Seah, with all due respect, the real celebrity is you!!!”
“Wish you were my MP!!!” another wrote.
“Looks like Lots of East coast GRC residents favours WP now,” commented another.
Others left equally encouraging remarks.
