[h=2]Law Society employee Nicholas Leong: It’s good to take MRT to connect with the ‘peasantry’[/h]Posted by temasektimes on June 3, 2012
Taking MRT to school and work is an onerous daily task for most Singaporeans, but for some, it is merely an exercise to connect with the ‘peasantry’.
An employee of the Law Society Nicholas-Seth Leong posted a thread on his Facebook about taking MRT for the second time this year:
“I had a meeting this morning out of office. My boss told me we’d take the train down….I told him its the second time I’m taking MRT this year, its my first time in Clarke Quay MRT….”

He added that he could feel his own ‘angst’ riding with ‘common people’:
“But I suppose its good to get the feel from the ground every now, and then to connect with the peasantry.”
According to his Linkedin account, Nicholas graduated from Temasek Polytechnic and is currently working as a ‘Customer Service Professional’ at the Law Society.
His comments caused a stir in cyberspace with many netizens criticizing him for being ‘elitist’:
“Can someone tell me how does taking a train ‘every now and then’ connects u to the ground?” – Mira Azhari
“ LOL … how to u even connect with ‘common people’ when u look down on them in the 1st place ? this guy a joke” – Kenny Ong

Constantly rubbing shoulders with the legal eagles can have this effect on people.

U guys dont have friends in Facebook who say moronic things from time to time just for the fun of it meh? It looks more like a case of someone just making an ass of himself rather then genuinely thinks he is superior

yes i have friends who say the craziest and dumbest things. Usually in a self-depreciating manner, never obnoxious and how lian like this nicholas leong. If he needs to broadcast like that, then he is nothing and suffers from low self-confidence.

noted. sim wong hoo was not born with silver spoon....

Assume his family is well to do?
Any CSI? want to see exactly how loaded he is.

Give him a break. He was trying to imitate the Govt. That's all.

Cannot blame him. Because he seldom take MRT/bus. Once a while take MRT/bus can see different kind of people is also good to see actual situation than heard what others said like ministers doesn't know anything just sit in office.
I myself also seldom take public transport. When taking MRT do feel different. But not looking down at any one. Just that 15 year ago MRT really not so pack most of the time can get seat. Not even not peak hour train also half load. That the big different compare to yesterday.
