“Boss 🫡🫡”: MRT’s Most Recognisable Commuter Charms Reddit
A photo of a uniquely dressed commuter – decked out with striking headphones, a stacked tactical-looking backpack, and serious “main character energy” – has gone viral on r/SMRTRabak. The original post by PandaPast4690, simply captioned “Boss 🫡🫡”, has since racked up hundreds of upvotes and dozens of lighthearted comments.
The subject? A now-familiar face to many regulars on Singapore’s public transport system, especially those commuting around the Circle Line and Northeast Line.
He’s not breaking any rules. He’s not harassing anyone. He’s just vibing — and doing it in style.
The Legend of “SOC Police Boss”
The look is dramatic: headphones (possibly from Smiggle, according to some), full get-up that some users jokingly likened to SOC (Special Operations Command) police gear, and a certain unbothered charisma. His presence was enough to spark an entire thread of appreciation, memes and admiration.
“CID special force commando counter terrorist armed force police man” – kukubird18cm
“Better than the siao lang security guard that anyhow alters his uniform to look like SPF from Wish.com” – CredibleNonsense69
Others compared him to characters from anime or video games.
“Jojo ahh character” – BaconBloodhound
“Aura farming” – CranberrySorry446
“Equipping event items on ur character be like” – BarleyLotion
From Meme to Cult Hero
Far from mockery, most comments are respectful and good-natured. Some have even seen him regularly and say his vibe is genuine.
“I often admire the things in his bag, and it is quite funny sometimes. He seems to enjoy listening to whatever he has on his smiggle headphones.” – HistoricalWash1
“If I were seated, I would offer my seat to him without reservations.” – pat-slider
“He is happy. He enjoys his music. I’m happy for him too.” – wanzi77
A Reminder to Just Be
Whether you see him as a low-key icon, MRT boss-tier NPC, or just someone marching to his own beat, there’s something refreshing about people who express themselves freely without harming anyone.
As one commenter put it:
“Some people really out there using all the free will they have.” – Probably_daydreaming
And in a city often known for conforming, maybe that’s exactly why this mysterious “boss” stood out.
