However, this Choa Chu Kang resident’s awakening from his slumber was made worthwhile after he found an Old Chang Kee (OCK) truck parked below his block.
Despite the wet weather, the truck pulled up with a Choa Chu Kang GRC MP in attendance, offering complimentary breakfast to residents to start their day on the right note.

A resident, presumably from Tampines, even tried their luck by tagging and begging Tampines GRC MP Baey Yam Keng to do the same.

Another netizen shared similar views with the OP’s sister, saying that having an OCK truck parked in the neighbourhood indeed warrants an emergency wake-up call.

When asked if residents could only redeem the treats once, OP joked that if they came down in different clothes, he couldn’ve gone for a second round.

No better way to wake up on a rainy Sunday morning
There can’t be many better ways to wake up on a rainy Sunday morning than receiving a free breakfast from your local MP.
After all, the weather is doing everything it can to claw us back into bed.
Hopefully, this isn’t a one-off initiative and these trucks can roll up in other parts of Singapore too.
