When I eventually got a word in, I said to the man from Mauritius, “You still haven’t answered my question about how you met Doreen Yip. What’s the relevance of her being an insurance broker to how you met?”
It turned out that they were both standing in the queue for the cable car to go over to Sentosa Island. He was feeling very nervous. Doreen Yip said, “You look very tense.” He said, “Yes, I’m very nervous about going on the cable car.” She said, “There was one incident* when the cable broke, the car dropped into the water, and some people died.”
*Sentosa Cable Car Accident, 29 January 1983

NB: Doreen Yip is not her real name
