    Parents Beware! Stranger At Joo Chiat Complex Threatened To Harm My 3 Year Old Daughter

    Please Please Please!!!! Be careful all parents out there!!! This just happened to my biras earlier today.. Do take xtra care of our children..we dont know when and where it might happen again.. #sharingiscaring

    On 02/05/17, at about 1400hrs, I was sitting on the bench located at level 2 of Joo Chiat Complex, beside the lift lobby, with two of my children. One of them is my son, Yusuf Abayar, which is 5 months old, and the other is my daughter, Zaada As’isyah, which is 3 years old.

    While I was sitting at the bench, I was approached by an unknown male subject. He asked me the gender of my boy. I answered him. He started to mumble to himself whether he should buy raffia string or rope.

    He then said that he will buy the rope. After that, he looked at my daughter and said, ‘Aku ikat kaki kau lepas tu tangan kau, aku sumbat mulut kau kasi senyap. I will kill you’. In English, it basically means that “I will tie your hands and legs, I will stuff things in your mouth and I will silence you. I will kill you.’ After that, one of the aunty told me to follow her, in which I did and we walked away from the male subject. He did not follow.

    I do not know the male subject and have never seen him before. He is a Male Malay, about 50+ years old wearing Black T-Shirt and Black Jeans, with short curly black hair and he had one eye open and one eye seemingly closed when speaking to me. I was wearing a black dress an light brown flower scarf. I was carrying a baby carrier.

    I would like to state that there is a CCTV at the lift lobby area.

    PAP’s Edwin Tong Feels Welcomed In Joo Chiat

    Having spent the past few weeks getting to know Joo Chiat residents, People’s Action Party Member of Parliament Edwin Tong said on Saturday (Aug 15) that he feels “very welcome”.

    Mr Tong, who is currently MP of Moulmein-Kallang GRC, looks set to move to Marine Parade GRC, which will absorb the single ward of Joo Chiat. Mr Tong also thanked current Joo Chiat MP, Charles Chong, who may contest in the opposition-held ward of Punggol East.

    “People are very warm, and have been long-term residents of Joo Chiat. I think you value the heritage and close community bonds that you have. A lot of that is down to the good work that Charles and his team have done over the last few years in building up Joo Chiat, and I look forward to being able to continue on that good work and build on those foundations and getting to know all of you better – so that we can understand the issues that you face, and more importantly to build a little kampong that we have called Joo Chiat,” he said.

    Mr Tong was speaking at the PAssionArts Festival at Siglap South Community Centre. The festival, which is into its sixth weekend, also saw the launch of these eight panels of facade art.

    The designs, which were done by residents, students and teachers of La Salle College of the Arts, tell a unique story of local food. Residents also enjoyed the food and cultural performances.
