SINGAPORE, Nov 11 — A Singapore coffee-shop worker who safeguarded a bag stuffed with S$20,000 (RM64,000) in cash has been rewarded with a hongbao (red packet), a Labubu doll and the heartfelt gratitude of its relieved owner.
Lau Guat Poh, 56, was working the Saturday dinner rush at Lau Ka Kopitiam in Bedok North on November 7 when she noticed a black bag abandoned on a chair.
Little did she know it contained thousands of dollars meant to pay factory workers' salaries.
According to The Straits Times, Lau, affectionately known to regulars as Ling Jie or Irene, initially assumed the bag belonged to a customer queueing for food.
