Among the children who take a train at Stadium MRT station, Madam Ayati Hassan and Madam Marfadina Mohamed Nossi are known as the "sticker aunties".

For over a year now, the two women have been at the train station daily, armed with a pouch of stickers to hand out to children.

As SMRT train service ambassadors, they keep an eye out for commuters who may need assistance, especially crying children who could be in a sour mood over having to go to school in the morning.

They had noticed the children who frequent the station in the morning tend to be from foreign countries, most likely because of the international schools in the area. So they decided to do something nice to make them feel welcome.
