A black pouch containing large sums of money was found on the road near Bukit Panjang Plaza by a Good Samaritan.

The woman who found the pouch then took to Facebook on June 1 in a bid to locate its owner.

The post has since been shared some 1,600 times in less than a day.

Her post said she found the nondescript pouch "on a road around Bukit Panjang Plaza" and that there was no other identification provided, except for the name "Iman Hakim", whom she assumes is the owner.

The pouch also contained other valuables, she wrote, but these items were not specified.

The Good Samaritan added: "Please help me locate the owner so I can return it back to them."

Within a few hours, the post was also shared to the Singapore Lost And Found Facebook group.
