SINGAPORE - The petite woman is often spotted apron-clad at a coffee shop at Block 75 Toa Payoh Lorong 5, busy clearing glasses and taking orders. The coffee shop owner chats easily with customers, but this merely masks the disquiet Madam Ang Goon Lay, 65, struggles with.
It has been nearly 26 years since her seven-year-old daughter Lim Shiow Rong was raped and strangled, and the murderer is still out there.
On June 24, 1995, Shiow Rong told her mother she was off to see "papa's friend" and ran off while Madam Ang was busy at the coffee shop, which used to be owned by her husband.
