You’ve heard of safe-distancing ambassadors.
Now meet the no-talking ambassadors.
As their name implies, these silent angels walk around the vicinity, with the core purpose of quietening potentially raucous individuals.
So if you consider yourself a blabbermouth with a chronic need to chatter every five seconds, you may well have encountered your biggest hurdle.
SMRT Staff Will Carry “No Talking” Placards in New Initiative to Reduce Risk of COVID-19 Transmission
Thankfully (for chattier individuals), the unofficial silencing buff will not apply to the whole island.
Rather, it will only apply to specific public transport vehicles run by SMRT.
According to a Facebook post by the transport operator, they have introduced an all-new class of heroes to “reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission and to better serve commuters”:
The no-talk ambassadors.
Armed with giant placards that you’ll find hard to ignore, these silent angels will be positioned at strategic spots to remind commuters to refrain from speaking.
However, it seems that to avoid coming across as hypocritical silencers, these station staff members will, too, have to refrain from talking.
As such, they’ll solely be relying on their giant, graphic-designed placards to remind commuters.
According to the post, the new class will be released today (31 March 2021).
“Commuters might forget every now and then, and we would like to courteously remind them to help keep our public transport safe through this initiative,” wrote SMRT.
“If we all do our part, we can stay safe!”
And Netizens Have Roared Their Approval
To date, the post has garnered over 50 shares and counting.
Netizens have also largely stamped their approval in the comments section…
With some echoing the need for such ambassadors to be present.
One even suggested the ultimate measure to curb such notions.
Though with that said, we can imagine the sheer windfall for SMRT if fines were to be implemented for real.
In the meantime, let’s endeavour to adhere to safety rules, even without someone waving a giant placard in our faces.
Also, please do not do this, no matter how stressed you may get.
