Kopi over atas coffee, nasi lemak over chicken rice’: New MRT ads ask commuters to queue based on personal preferences

New MRT ads let commuters queue up based on their preferences

Recent MRT ads have caught the attention of commuters with quirky statements that seemingly encourage them to queue based on their preferences.

The advertisements feature contrasting statements like “nasi lemak is more satisfying than chicken rice” and “chicken rice is more flavourful than nasi lemak,” displayed on either side of MRT doors.

Commuters are invited to stand on the side that best reflects their opinion.

Apart from the chicken rice and nasi lemak example, another pairing also pit kopi and atas coffee against each other, allowing commuters to align with their preferred beverage.

Beyond food comparisons, some ads touch on other subjects, such as romance — stating “looks aren’t as attractive as personality” or “personality isn’t as captivating as looks.”

Netizens puzzled by cryptic ads

The ads, which have been spotted on the East-West Line, North-South Line, and Circle Line, have sparked discussions online on platforms like Reddit and TikTok.

Many netizens are puzzled, expressing curiosity over the unbranded campaign.

Some speculated it’s a creative way to encourage commuters to stand aside so passengers can alight more easily.
