A woman has complained on the internet that a Chinese national couple tried to abduct her child at Ang Mo Kio Hub.
Ms 'Allison Goon' shared her experience on her Facebook page, explaining that she was at the AMK Hub Fiesta on Sunday (18 Mar).
She had just fed her son and walked away to throw some rubbish when she turned back and found another woman taking her son away by his hand.
She shouted after her son and asked the woman why she was holding her son's hand.
The woman, who spoke with a China accent, replied that she had "the wrong child", then walked away with another man while pretending that nothing had happened.!
When Ms Allison Goon asked her son why he had followed the stranger, the boy said that the woman had told him, "follow me, I will bring you home".
Concerned about the incident, Ms Allison Goon spoke to the mall management and was advised to make a police report.
She has since done so.
The mall's management has emphasised that this was an isolated incident and advises the public not to panic unnecessarily.
The Member of Parliament who looks after the area, Mr Seng Han Thong, has also expressed concern and told reporters that the police will step up their patrols while the mall management will monitor the situation.
