Businesswoman Julia Chia could not believe her eyes when she saw a lost and found corner in a Bukit Batok coffee shop with several ez-link cards, keys, credit and debit cards. Ms Chia, 26, had chanced upon the lost and found corner in Mei De Coffeeshop at Bukit Batok East...

One netizen said: “This is one of the traits the locals grew up with for generations, not to take what’s not yours, so most items can usually be found even if it’s lost.”One netizen said they once used their phone to reserve a table and although no one stole the phone, they instead returned to find that all the chairs were gone.

Another netizen said: “Someone left their laptop and study notes on a table and went to the toilet. When they came back, their laptop was still there but notes gone.” The owner of Mei De Coffeeshop, who wanted to be known as Mr Bai, said the corner is an act of “community service” and that the items featured in Ms Chia’s TikTok video have been unclaimed for “a couple of months”.

Mr Bai, 41, said: “We’ve been in the coffee shop and canteen business for a long time and we always have customers who misplace their keys, ez-link cards and wallets as well.” He added that customers have also left behind laptops and phones, but that these items are kept more securely in drawers behind the counter.
