Was walking out of Tampines Mall..
When this 40-something year old plump woman ran up to me...sweating profusely...
Spoke to me in English..
"Please sister. Please!!"
"Can you give me $10!! I need it to feed my father..He's sick at home!!"
"Please!!"
She looked harmless enough..
But she was grabbing me tighly on my left arm..I couldn't get away..
Was half afraid that she would drag me somewhere and whack the living daylights out of me till I gave her some $$...
Then I did what most Singaporeans would do...
I smiled and shunned away..Shook my head a few times..
Said no, I don't think so...
After 2 or 3 head shakes...she got the idea..and moved onto someone else behind me...
Don't know if that person gave her any or not..
But on hindsight...am not sure if I did the right thing...
Guess I'll never know whether she was genuine or not...
