Update: Fellows asking help in Orchard

I shared an encounter about a fellow asking $6.00.00 along Orchard.
Precy Gonzales
Here is an update on this. A month after our encounter with her, I again met her at Orchard MRT station near an escalator going up to Wisma Atria. She approached me sporting a pitiful look while asking me if I am a Filipina. I looked at her and asked what she was doing in Orchard. She then went to talk about her being abused, no work blah blah blah.

One thing caught my attention. She just had her new Malaysian passport issued on that day in Johor Bahru. I was really surprised but doubting if the passport was real. She showed me her Malaysian passport and indeed it's true. Singapore stamp is on the first page of her passport.

This made me really wonder what this woman is doing in Malaysia and Singapore.

She was trying to buy me with her story of being abused and everything like the first time we met her. I told her we met already and then asked her what happened to the money I and friend gave. She again told me she was not able to go to Malaysia that time because there was no available bus and it was night time.

I was running out of patience because of her unbelievable story. I told her I will help her but I need to ask for police assistance. She suddenly turned around and left.
