She was later believed to have been near Parsi Road on 31 Dec at around 11pm. Earlier social media posts had also pointed to possible sightings in the Jurong West and Boon Lay areas.
Speaking to MS News, Gladys, 25, said a member of the public contacted the family on Thursday (1 Jan) night after allegedly spotting Amber in the southern parts of Singapore.
“Someone called my dad and said he saw her at Labrador Park,” she said, adding that she spent nearly three hours cross-referencing photos with the location.
According to the sighting, Amber was seen at Labrador Park between 8 and 9pm, before later being spotted at HarbourFront Centre at about 11.20pm.
Amber is described as being between 161cm and 165cm tall, with long hair, a fair complexion, and black-rimmed glasses.
She was last seen wearing a dark blue or black Radin Mas basketball shirt paired with blue Adidas shorts.

‘We are very helpless’
Gladys said the uncertainty has taken an emotional toll on the family.
“We are all very worried about her and wish that she can come home soon,” she said. “Not just me — I would assume my parents too — we’ve been having very sleepless nights trying whatever we can to find her. We hope she is safe right now.”
She added that the lack of updates has left the family feeling helpless.
“We are very helpless since the police had no updates and we couldn’t do much either, so we wanted to do whatever we can to spread the word.”
