Stomper William from Malaysia is looking for his daughter who was adopted by a Singaporean couple back in 2002.
In a phone interview, William told Stomp how he and his ex-girlfriend had the child but realised that they weren’t ready to be parents.
They arranged for the child to be adopted by an elderly Singaporean couple days after her birth on July 14, 2002.
The name which they gave to their daughter was Ong Siaw Me, Michelle.
After the incident, William and his girlfriend broke up.
He later got married and has been working in Singapore for the past year.
Said the father:
“I have been haunted by my guilt and conscience this past 15 years.
“To my knowledge, the couple which adopted my daughter should be in their seventies now.
“I’m worried about their advanced age, and I also want to know how my daughter is doing.
“He is fifteen years old this year and should be enrolled in a secondary school.”

Stomper Chloe was noticed a discrepancy when she checked her credit card bills recently.
She realised that she had been charged GBP12.85 for an Uber trip she supposedly did not take.
Chloe said that she had not made any Uber trips during the time period, and moreover she was in Singapore, so she could not fathom why the charges were calculated in British Pounds.
She subsequently wrote emails to Uber and Paypal, but alleged that they did not get back to her.
Chloe noted two more fraud transactions charged to her PayPal account, indicating that she had used Uber services.
Said Chloe:
“This has provided much inconvenience and cause me to lose confidence.”
In response to Stomp’s media query, a spokesman from Uber said:
“We do not comment on individual cases due to our privacy policies which protect both riders and drivers.
“Our team will review the incident and address it accordingly.
“However, it is important to stress that there are myriad reasons why this could occur – including whether the user is maintaining good habits in safeguarding personal information security, whether the device had been compromised, or even issues with the financial institution and its products.
“It would not be right to speculate, but we will continue to monitor the issue closely.
“Riders are encouraged to contact our 24/7 customer support team through the in-app Help, Account and Payment Options, or online through Account and Payment Options, should they suspect that their account has been compromised.”

Stomper CT was at Admiralty Place Shopping Centre yesterday (Jun 6) at around 7pm, when she came across snaking queues outside the Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) outlet there.
Puzzled by the long line of people, a passerby asked CT if KFC was having some sort of specialty promotion, to which CT replied that she was not aware.
CT decided to join the queue, and to her surprise, found out that many of the patrons were eyeing the same thing on the menu — the Curry Crunch Chicken.
She queued for more than 20 minutes before getting her orders.
When asked if the wait was worth it, CT said:
“The curry flavour is quite nice. The spice really adds a kick to the taste.
“I don’t why the queue is this long though. Maybe this branch’s curry is exceptionally ’power’.”
CT added that she will definitely come back for more.
