Report from Shin Min (omy website):
A woman has complained on the internet that a Chinese national
couple tried to abduct her child at Ang Mo Kio Hub.
Ms 'Allison Goon' shared her experience on her Facebook page,
explaining that she was at the AMK Hub Fiesta on Sunday (18
Mar).
She had just fed her son and walked away to throw some rubbish
when she turned back and found another woman taking her son away by
his hand.
She shouted after her son and asked the woman why she was
holding her son's hand.
The woman, who spoke with a China accent, replied that she had
"the wrong child", then walked away with another man while
pretending that nothing had happened.
When Ms Allison Goon asked her son why he had followed the
stranger, the boy said that the woman had told him, "follow me, I
will bring you home".
Concerned about the incident, Ms Allison Goon spoke to the mall
management and was advised to make a police report.
She has since done so.
The mall's management has emphasised that this was an isolated
incident and advises the public not to panic unnecessarily.
The Member of Parliament who looks after the area, Mr Seng Han
Thong, has also expressed concern and told reporters that the
police will step up their patrols while the mall management will
monitor the situation.
