Speaker of Parliament Tan Chuan-Jin took to social media to set the record straight that he does not resemble his minister friend.
Tan last night posted a photo of himself alongside Chan Chun Sing, minister for education and minister-in-charge of public service, to show that they are not the same person after two individuals mistook Tan for Chan during a run.
“Was happily doing my run by the river just now, winding down after an earlier run and workout at the gym (deadlift here we come 💪!), when two runners zipped by and “MR CHAN!!!” Rang out. Accompanied by a big smile and wave…,” Tan wrote.
Tan, who said he had been pals with Chan for years, frustratedly explained that he was “too tired” to correct them and instead posted the photo of the two of them in their Singapore Armed Forces uniform and described himself as having a more unkind face.
“[B]ut in the event you do see two guys walking, Mr Chan Chun Sing is on the right, while the buay song face (Hokkien version of [resting bitch face]) chap on the left is me 🤣” Tan wrote.
He also made sure to confirm that they weren’t holding hands in the photo.
