Who Knew a Politician Became a Liverpool Fan?
Even the most intense house‑visit day‑trader can’t beat the thrill of a Premier League title showdown – and our very own Speaker of Parliament, Tan Chuan‑Jin, proved that fact back in the wee hours of the morning.
Keep‑up Marathon Pays Off
While his colleagues were still falling asleep, Tan was wide awake, eyes glued to the TV screen as Liverpool FC clinched the league trophy for the first time in 30 years. The old gravy‑and‑heroes moment was so sweet that the man broke into tears – a rare sight from a man whose day job is to scan ridin’ parties for policy pitfalls.
The Social Media Sweats
- Tweet: “Nothing tells me how much I love cricket…#TheOriginalResiliencePackage”
- Facebook Post: “What a glorious win for a proud “Red” supporter!”
- Instagram Story: Little “Red” confetti exploded over his caption.
Your friend at the table may notice the LOLs, but the sentiment was heart‑warming: sinner, supporter, and superstar all rolled into one.
Party Members Join the Party – Even if They’re Not Liverpool Fans
True to the anthem “You Will Never Walk Alone,” several party mates decided to pull out the celebratory cigarillos – as it were – and joined the resounding victory chorus.
- Lee Hsien Loong: “Cheers to our wins on the pitch!”
- Other party staffer: “He said it’s the best day to dance the national anthem.”
Unforgettable Hashtag Moment
Because official hashtags matter, Tan gave the universal shoutout with > #TheOriginalResiliencePackage, adding a stick of pride to every celebratory post.
So next time you think politics is all debating and deadlines, remember: even a Speaker can turn into a football fanatic, and tears can follow a late‑night 2‑0 victory. Football and politics may feel like separate worlds, but when the stadium lights blaze, everyone’s cheering together, no matter how busy the day’s agenda.
