SINGAPORE: 21-year-old Chong Kar Yan, who fell to her death on Saturday morning at Block 565 at Ang Mo Kio Avenue 3, was described by colleagues as a cheerful person.
They are puzzled over news of her death as she's been happy with her new workplace.
Originally from Ipoh, Malaysia, Ms Chong has been working here for over two years.
Speaking to 938LIVE, colleagues of Ms Chong confirmed she started working just three weeks ago, as a helper at a coffee shop along Bishan Street 12.
One colleague, 62-year-old Ms Chen Hai Hua remembers her fondly.
She said: "She's very nice, dresses well, and is also polite. She’s affectionate, cheerful and even calls me grandmother... I'm saddened to learn of her death. I didn't even know about it till I heard from my colleagues."
Another colleague, 45-year-old Mr Lam who treated the deceased as a god-daughter said she's responsible and well-liked.
He recalls their last conversation on Friday night.
"She said she was happy working here and said goodbye to everyone. I found it strange and wanted to ask her why. But she just left in a rush," he said.
Mr Lam noticed that a fellow Malaysian, 19-year-old Tan Teck Soon has been trying to woo Ms Chong.
He said Mr Tan who works at a construction company in the Hougang area, would wait for her work to end before leaving together around 11pm on his motorbike.
But Mr Lam didn't think that they were a good match.
Ms Chong was believed to have fallen from the 12th floor of the block.
Mr Tan fell shortly after.
He survived the fall and is currently in Tan Tock Seng Hospital for his injuries.
He's believed to have caused her death and has since been charged for murder. - 938LIVE/vm
