They have been living at the airport for the last seven months, they said.

Miss Eileen Ho and Mr Daniel Soo, both 24, said they spend their days wandering the terminals before sleeping on thin comforters on the floor in a corner of Terminal 3, near a cafe.

Checks with the staff reveal that the pair, along with Miss Ho's brother, had been seen for several months now. When TNP met them on Wednesday (Nov 18), Miss Ho said that they ended up there because she had a falling out with her parents.

They also took with them Miss Ho's 20-year-old brother, Wilson, whom they say suffers from epilepsy.

"We have no other place to go, that is why we stay like this," said Miss Ho, pointing to their bedding.

Said Mr Soo: ''Here is okay. At least got free Internet, free electricity and free water.''

They were moved out yesterday after queries were sent to Changi Airport Group.

An airport spokesman said that they had been ''linked'' with the Ministry of Social and Family Development (MSF) and ''a social welfare officer is currently exploring accommodation options with them''.
