Singapore Grab Driver Decorates Car With Many Star Wars Figurines
Most of us book a Grab ride when we need to get somewhere fast. But imagine sitting in a Grab car filled with memorabilia from your favourite movie. If you like Star Wars, you will be thrilled to know that there’s a Grab driver who is a clear fanboy of the movie series.
Recently, Mr Leon Perera, a Workers’ Party (WP) member and Member of Parliament (MP) for Aljunied GRC, shared his recent experience in a Grab car that was full of Star Wars decorations.

Fans of the film went wild after seeing the post, with some saying that the Force is strong with this ride.
Grab car has rows of Stormtrooper figurines & talking Grog
On Wednesday (18 May), Mr Leon Perera enthusiastically took to Facebook to write about his unique Grab experience.
After getting into the car, he claimed that he was “greeted with a sight for sore eyes”.
The front of the car was filled with rows of Star War figurines, including characters such as Stormtroopers and BB-8.

Even the armrest pads were Star Wars-themed.
Upon a closer look, one will notice a small baby Yoda, aka Grogu, sitting comfortably at the front while facing passengers.
The figurine can apparently speak too — Mr Perera shared that he received an “audible greeting from Grogu”.
Highly satisfied with his Grab experience, he thanked the driver for making his day and said that it “warms the cockles of my (his) heart” whenever he meets people who “inject a bit of cheer and humour into their work” even when “life is not always easy”.
