A 15-year-old girl who slept and bathed in a wet market stall for almost a year has been attending a special education school and is learning to communicate.

On Oct 23, the Ministry of Social and Family Development provided this update aboutStall owners previously said the girl barely spoke and merely gestured. But now, she is using simple words to express herself and articulate her basic needs, said MSF in response to queries from The Straits Times.

Those convicted can be jailed for up to eight years, fined up to $8,000, or both. Police investigations are ongoing. Stall owners described the girl as skinny and small, and said they rarely saw her walk on her own. Instead, she would walk on her father’s feet like a toddler as he held onto her shoulders.
