A candle was found in the man’s possession while charcoal was found inside the electrical compartment of an excavator at the construction site.
In the second case, on 8 December 2018, Mr Lee Kok Thiam had assisted to find a missing person who was an elderly suffering from dementia. Mr Lee called the emergency hotline when he spotted the missing person who fitted the description of a Police’s appeal for information. He followed her until after the Police officers arrived and verified the identity of the missing person, who was eventually reunited with her family.
In the third case, on 15 December 2018, Mr Abdul Kader Nazeer Ahamed found a bundle of 20 pieces of $50 notes at a bus stop along Boon Lay Way, and handed the cash over to a police officer at a Neighbourhood Police Post.
