Hello! Fellow editor here from Singapore! I am an avid rapid transit enthusiast, mainly improving articles about Singapore's MRT (and LRT system). Alongside editing MRT station pages, I take up-to-date MRT photos for Wikipedia and upload them on Wikimedia commons. Occasionally, I will edit articles of other subject matters within my interests, such as literature and classical music as well, especially compositions by 20th-century American composers (Charles Ives and Elliott Carter).

I am now in university, having served my National Service. While rather experienced here, I admit I do not have full knowledge of all of Wikipedia's policies so if I have stepped over a red line, feel free to raise it up on my talk page. I also take part in other geofiction projects. If you also wish to chat about anything directly, my discord is available.

If you want to help improve the quality of our station articles, I suggest reading this essay. Meanwhile, I will continue exploring the archives to uncover more of the hidden history of our network, something our beloved Land Transport Authority (LTA) isn't able to "remember".

Hi, thanks for chronicling the Singapore MRT. I live right besides Siglap MRT, and I take pictures of its construction progress. How can I send my pictures to you so that you can add to your documentation. Suchda2 (talk) 16:28, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

The Original Barnstar
I was wondering from where we managed to get a wave of Singapore-related FAs on the front page in recent years. So it was you. Great work. FAs are hard work. Really hard work. Really really hard work. I've picked the original barnstar, as your work really reminded me of the younger me on Wikipedia. - Mailer Diablo 20:14, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
