Tan Chuan-Jin sheds tears of joy after Liverpool finally clinch title

No football fan would miss out on watching the Premier League title decider — even if you're a campaigning politician who just spent hours paying house visits.

Staying awake in the wee hours of the morning paid off though, as Speaker of Parliament Tan Chuan-Jin saw his favourite football team, Liverpool FC, clinch the league trophy for the first time in 30 years. The hard-earned victory was so bittersweet it even moved the man to tears.

He didn't try to hide his excitement at all, making multiple posts about the win on all of his social media accounts to celebrate the win.

The die-hard stan wasn't alone in his excitement too.

True to the team's motto You Will Never Walk Alone, several other of his party members - including Lee Hsien Loong himself - joined in on the fiesta, even if not everyone was a Liverpool fan.

And of course, he had to include the hashtag #TheOriginalResiliencePackage, just because.
