Here's something to lift your spirits, block your sinuses so you sniffle and make you go "Awww" on a Monday:

In case you can't see the post above, this is what Othniel Liew wrote in a Facebook post:

How often do you get on a bus and are able to help yourselves to candies? This morning I just want to give a big shout out to the bus captain of bus service 972 SMB3587P who not only greeted every passenger but also provided a small rack of candies at the exit. On it were two thank you post it notes from other passengers who obviously had been blessed by this man's kindness. Thank you sir for making Singapore such a warm place to live in. I boarded the bus with a little heavy heart today but my spirit was already lifted when I alighted.

According to one of the dates written on the notes stuck to candy container, it read 29/12/15. Which means it appears this driver's practice of giving out candy has been going on for several months now.

However, this is certainly not the first time SMRT staff have been lauded for taking the initiative.

Previously, numerous other service-oriented SMRT staff have caught the public's attention:
