While waiting for her friends at an MRT station near Bukit Timah on the morning of April 14, a woman caught a rare glimpse of a pangolin scurrying about.

Ms Purnima said she was curious about where the pangolin was headed and followed it – all while keeping her distance.Two other passers-by noticed the pangolin and they too tailed the creature. The pangolin eventually crawled towards a ramp that goes down to the street level and disappeared into the bushes."What worries me is that it's a critically endangered species. And I know there's so many protective laws against harming these creatures but at the same time, what do you do when one walks up to you?,” she said.
