A FEW DAYS back, Singapore’s largest newspaper received a very important letter from a reader – and it’s gone super viral.
The letter was a lengthy complaint about a fellow train commuter who happened to be sewing as the carriage was moving.
Its headline was straight and to the point:
Ms Tan Lay Hoon outlined her concerns very articulately:
She parted with this line:
Usually, letters to newspapers would be quickly forgotten about – but this one has taken on a life of its own.
Why? Well the sarcastic comments underneath have gone super viral

There is a lesson here:
Things will get picked up on by the internet, and things will get sarcastic very fast.
Kudos to all involved.
