Siti Aishah Siregar, a 20-year-old Singaporean woman, left Singapore unexpectedly and traveled alone to Phnom Penh, Cambodia on July 28, 2026[citation needed] [1, 2, 3]. On the morning of her departure, she told her mother she was going to school, but later her WhatsApp and Telegram accounts were deleted and her phone became unreachable, raising concern [1, 3].
Her family found her passport missing and located a confirmed flight ticket to Cambodia in her email [1, 3]. They also discovered she had transferred hundreds of dollars to an unknown individual, possibly linked to an online gaming contact she was playing with, according to her elder brother Syafiq Siregar, who said, "We know of this person. But we have never seen, we have never heard him speak at all. But we know that she’s playing games with this person." [1]
The Singapore Police Force is assisting in the search, coordinating with Interpol and Cambodian authorities to trace her whereabouts [1, 2, 3]. The family has lodged a formal police report and made public appeals on social media, which have been shared over 4,400 times as of early August [2, 3].
Her father Sahat Siregar pleaded for urgent help, saying, "We are afraid that every hour we lose could make it harder to bring her home safely. As a father, I am begging for your help. I just want my daughter to come home safe." He also said, "Please help us find my daughter as soon as possible." [3]
The family suspects that Aishah may have been targeted for a scam or coerced into leaving Singapore, possibly related to scam compounds reported in Cambodia [1]. Investigations are ongoing.
The immediate next step is continued coordination between Singapore and Cambodian authorities to locate Aishah following the family's appeals and police involvement since July 30, 2026 [2, 3].
