'No wonder can run and smile simultaneously. More like can't wait running to reach the bank,' the netizen added.
Netizens have responded to a video of Minister for Communications and Information and Second Minister for Home Affairs Josephine Teo running around to meet residents. There were those who praised her, those who urged her to wear proper running shoes, and also a few who took the timing of her presence to be a signal that elections are coming soon.
On Thursday Ms Teo shared a Facebook post showcasing her recent house visits in Blk 34 Upper Cross Street, which she said has 315 units. “All of us ran and walked to meet as many residents as possible, but were able to cover only half the block,” her post read. “It was tiring but certainly meaningful. We will be back and hope to meet more residents.”
While there were those who commented with messages of praise for Ms Teo, others noticed that she was not wearing running shoes. Given this, many urged her to do so. “Madam, you should wear proper shoes if you are running,” wrote one netizen. Another said, “Wear track shoes, lah.” Still, a few made playful comments mentioning the elections, with one online user asking “Is the General Election coming soon?” Another wrote, “Seems like elections , then you’re able to see the Minister.”
Another netizen took a stronger tone, even bringing in Ms Teo’s one-million-dollar salary. “Wow, just run around an HDB block once in five years and get S$1 million a year. No wonder you can run and smile simultaneously.
