SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/ANN): It took three nerve-racking hours after a powerful earthquake struck on Friday (March 28) before Hein Htet Zaw could get through to his family in Myanmar.
The 27-year-old was in Peninsula Plaza shopping centre – dubbed Singapore’s Little Myanmar – when he heard that his home city Mandalay had been rocked by the 7.7-magnitude temblor.
