"Honestly, I think it's kind of cute they tried to replicate the brand fonts themselves," one user commented.

"You can catch Bus No. 125 from the connecting bus stop there, which would take you to Genting Lane," another user explained, adding: "Probably that road has a number of seniors who are in the early stages of dementia and need signs like these to guide them home."
Some poked fun at the designer, comparing the signage to a "sticker book" and a "kid's art project," while another joked that the signage is the result when "graphic design is my passion".
