Minister of State for Culture, Community and Youth and Transport Baey Yam Keng had a heartwarming encounter when a stranger returned his lost wallet during a family holiday in France.
In a Facebook post on Thursday (Dec 25), Baey recounted how he had dropped his wallet at a parking meter before walking with his family to a nearby restaurant for dinner.
“While waiting for our food, a lady walked in and asked me if I (was) from Singapore and whether I work in the ministry. She doesn’t look like she is from Singapore so I thought she might have lived here and somehow recognised me,” he wrote.
Baey added that the woman, whom he identified as Gabriella, had indeed lived in Singapore about 10 years ago.
