Reunited after nine months

AFTER nearly nine months of asking to be “put in a parcel” and sent from Johor to reunite with her parents across the Causeway, Reiko Cheah finally arrived in Singapore at the end of last month.

But the four-year-old, accompanied by her father Kenny Cheah during a mandatory 14-day quarantine, found herself still separated from her mother Sylvia Chong, whom she could only wave at from four floors up in a hotel where she was serving her stay-home notice.
