Newton MRT Station Cleaner Writes Chinese Calligraphy With Mop

Newton MRT Station Cleaner Writes Chinese Calligraphy With Mop

This shows you can find art in the most unexpected of places.

In a video posted by Xiaohongshu user @杰斯说okk, a cleaner at Newton MRT Station was seen writing Chinese calligraphy with his mop as he cleaned the stairs.

At Exit B of the station, he painted with water “Today is 23-12” in Mandarin.

We’re left wondering if the date, December 23, has any special significance to the cleaner or if it was just a spontaneous choice.

Commuters passing by were intrigued, with a few whipping out their phones to capture the moment as they rode the escalator.

One netizen cheekily wrote, “Is he indirectly telling us the upcoming winning 4D number?”

This isn’t the first time the cleaner has shown off his water calligraphy skills.

Earlier this year, TikTok user @jyen.joy posted a video in which the cleaner made her day by writing “prosperity 0404.”

What is that we see as we come down Newton MRT station?

The cleaner was also seen writing the words "prosperity 0404" earlier this year.

Bugis Street Level 2 may no longer feel quite as much like a ghost town. Months after we visited the upper floor following reports of shuttered shops and sparse foot traffic, we returned on a Friday afternoon to see whether things had changed. This time, Level 2 had noticeably more people around, from teenagers and tourists to older shoppers. More importantly, shoppers were actually interacting with the stalls, trying things on and making purchases, rather than simply browsing and walking through. There are still plenty of shuttered units, and Level 2 remains much quieter than the ever-busy ground floor, but the atmosphere felt noticeably livelier during our visit. Bugis Street is also hosting its “Somewhere @ Bugis Street” weekend events as part of its ongoing efforts to bring more activity to the area. So, is Bugis Street Level 2 finally making a comeback? #8dayssg #8dayssgtrending #Bugis #BugistStreet #Singapore
