MP Teo Ser Luck tickles social media users with funny hashtags
Is Teo Ser Luck the coolest Member of Parliament (MP) in Singapore?
That may be arguable, but the Minister of State for the Ministry of Trade and Industry, who is also the MP of Pasir Ris-Punggol GRC, has been observed to be updating his Facebook with a list of funny hashtags.
“My posts are usually daily experiences so the [list of] hashtags is a little humour added with these experiences,” he says in an email response to Yahoo! Singapore.
With over 9,000 likes on his Facebook page, Teo’s strong hashtag game has not gone unnoticed — news of his fun little posts have been circulating around social media, garnering positive responses from amused social media users.
One Facebook user, Charmaine Ng, commented on the MP’s post saying, “#LOL, #awesome, #welikeyou and #youngatheart.”
Another user, Saffire Ng Xinying, commented, “LOL the hashtags you use surprised me la! Hahahah, just made my day a little better! Good job!”
Here are some of the Facebook posts.
